MITI investigating AP Kings as you read this

Looks like the article that was published on www.dsf.my on the 7th of March 2019 has gotten the attention of the The International Trade and Industries Ministry (MITI) and we now hear that the Deputy Minister Ong Kian Ming and his team will conduct a detailed review on the 36 new companies receiving approved permits (AP) to import vehicles.

This comes after the ministry has received complaints and reports that some of these companies did not comply with the conditions to receive AP.

The previous AP Kings that have been business with large proper showrooms, sales outlets and heavy investment in manpower to sell reconditioned vehicles are happy that the new 36 AP holders are being investigated as the reconditioned car market is NOT having its best days this past year as profit margins get squeezed due to lower currency exchange and the ‘push’ by foreign car brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi who are offering very good new car pricing with great in house financing rates and better after sales and longer warranty programs.

It is the recon/used MPV and SUV segments that continue to fuel the approved permit business, namely the Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, Estima and the Range Rover, Bentley, X6, Cayenne and Macan which continue to attract Malaysian buyers away from new imported warrantied cars.

The 36 NEW AP companies that will be checked by MITI are as follows:
