Hello Everyone,

I am moving to malaysia by the May end. i want to purchase a car (new or second hand) for my personal use for next 2 years while i am in KL. Could you guys suggest the price range, model and regular expense on a driver?

I have an Indian Driving license. DO you think i can drive there as per local laws?

Thanks!

I really surprized to know how expensive having a car in Malyasia. It costs almot double than Japan. Unbelievable.

Figure out a budget and then go to a site like carlist.my and start searching. The japanese cars are higher value and the local cars like proton and perodua are cheaper.
