Turun? Naik?
Ok let me share something.
Around November and December 2014, being in Corporate Banking, I was doing credit review on few of the GLC's accounts that involve in automotive industry. Credit review needs SWOT analysis and hence there are lots of industry/sector reports stating about GST implementation effects.
The strong founding was that the price of cars would not be affected much, if not slightly lower. Very little mention on price of cars would hike, making the info less reliable.
Secara ringkas, harga kereta sepatutnya lebih murah selepas GST.
In March 2015, my stepbrother ajak aku pergi usha Mazda 2 terbaru. So we went to the nearest Mazda showroom and the saleswoman greet us and start selling the car's features.
Cantik. Serious cantik. Mazda 2 sedan. Bukan nak beli sangat pun. Saje tengok. Layan je laa saleswoman tu. Tapi satu yang menarik perhatian aku ialah selling point dia.
"You kalau nak beli kereta baru better beli sekarang sebelum GST. Lots of people buying car to avoid price hike due to GST. I dah jual banyak kereta nie. Semua nak keluar kereta sebelum 1st April."
Dalam hati ada sedikit rasa geli. Bijak orang2 sales and marketing guna selling point GST to increase their sales sebanyak mungkin. Tapi takleh nak salahkan penjual atau pembeli. Sama ada salah seorang atau dua2 tak tahu pasal research report tu. So yang salah aku laa kan sebab tak sebarkan awal-awal.
Pada 3 April 2015, aku dan kakak aku ke showroom kereta Perodua. Kali nie tengok2 memang ada niat nak beli. Terbukti harga kereta lebih murah selepas GST. Walaupun tak banyak beza tapi still~ dalam dok harga barang lain naik selepas GST, harga kereta turun. So kene beli laa nie ye? Lol.
Ini adalah berdasarkan pengalaman diri sendiri ye. Kalau ade yang mengalami harga kereta naik selepas GST, wallahualam.
