  79K... which means MI still earns around 23k per car as profit... They are dropping price as there have quite a big stock in their compound at TP (not traffic police) near KD..hehe... can see rows and rows of Rex. Seems like they over indent as they anticipated a good sales volume... hehe... now trying to reduce stock lvl.
  
  Road tax... is around 1.9k ( I think )... so ex for a 2.5L car. Insurance a killer. 1L = 8km
  Better stick to my normal 1.6 car. cheaper and more economical. lolz..

  what is the cost of insurance ?
  thousands range?
  
  also... 8km/litre is ok for a 2.5litre TC car considering my "VVTi" picnic does 8++/9km/litre

  hehe nah aint MI salesperson, but it was really value for $$$ but then again with the cost of insurance etc, end up 80+++K so they reduce the price cause to balance the cost of heavy road tax ...
