Title: Best way to get to Penang from JB?
Post by: Keeptrucking on Dec 02, 2024, 06:08 PM
driving is quite far, like 9 hours? so prob out.

Air tickets about 100sgd each, which is crazy for such a relatively short distance.

Not sure about the comofort level of coach and train.

anyone any experience or advice?

Maybe can try contact the car company directly to avoid distributor?

Moi tiagong if own bid COE and got it, the distributor does not want to sell chiu.
Reason being when they bid, the difference they take. So, it is a bad system.

Moi believe many car owners tried before with own COE. Tiagong LTA documentation, import procedure complicated for car owners and cannot bring in, got to give up the certificate. Got to contact those who managed to. Stressful life made by LTA :frown: .

Moi never tried. Only when the distributor wants to charge high high just to bring in this special spacenomad.
Need to clear the taxes at custom and pay freight. If timing is tight, not sure whether can put the car at warehouse/home till get COE then can drive.
