CKD Mercedes Prices Reduced 6.5%-10% In Malaysia
Posted by www.eMercedesBenz.com on March 24, 2006 at 10:20 AM CST

If you live in Malaysia and have been considering purchasing a new
completely knocked-down (CKD) Mercedes, i.e. a Mercedes assembled in
Malaysia, you're in luck.

DaimlerChrysler is reporting today that thanks to the new duty
structure outlined in the National Automotive Policy, Mercedes-Benz
CKD vehicles will be reduced in price by 6.5%-10% starting
immediately. Two models specifically mentioned in the report are the
Mercedes C180K model, which has been reduced from RM255,800 to
RM233,888, and the Mercedes E240K, which will now retail for RM388,000.

DaimlerChrysler Malaysia president and chief executive officer Datuk
Frank Steinleitner said his company welcomed the new duty structure,
stating: "With this cost saving, there will be significant growth in
CKD production, thus bringing about economic benefit to Malaysia."
He added that: "Having invested heavily in the production plant in
Pekan, Pahang, DCM has demonstrated long-term commitment to Malaysia
and will fully pass on the entire duty savings to its customers."
