I know of the pros and cons...but would like to know whether is there any parallel import for toyota?and how much cheaper is it going to be?also, do we have to down any 10% deposit with the parallel import which is the same as borneo motors?

  Corolla have PI but VERY VERY rare to see Imported Altis, unless you wish to have a Manual Altis, otherwise the next popular ones will be the 1.3 or 1.5 JDM Corolla.
  
  OPC for PI is possible, but you will need to see to the necessary paper work, if you want to cut cost you might want to engage a Lawyer to do the paper work for you or you might want to check with the local PI's rate for importing the car.
  
  FYI i have a buddy who's dad is a Lawyer, he brought in a Merc E280 Avantgarde at only $115k!!! but of course you must have the correct network of friends to do so

  Try Ricardo Motors Pte Ltd. Friend of mine got his PI 2.4l ipsum from them.

  well,for this case..i think that it is not worth to import altis here lor..BM got hot sales in altis. and the after sales services by BM are much more better than the PI..so of course,everyone will go for BM's altis. But say u want a manual altis,try talking to the SE at BM showroom,see if they can get u a manual altis. From what i know, malaysia altis got manual, but now i think they oso stopped taking orders for manual altis...

  PI is parallel import
  they import cars models that the dealers here dun sell
  like toyota will, toyota premio honda accord (euro) etc etc
  not available in borneo motors,tan cheong,kah motors etc etc

  Dun bother, most PI here dun import models that are already sold by official dealer. Conflict of interest??? Unless it's a different engine e.g 2.4l Picnic.
  
  Tat's why u c most models on offer r those totally diff ones. How i noe? Been there done that!
