Car buyers await GST hoping new tax will result in lower prices


PETALING JAYA: The implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) in 2015 could result in potential car buyers adopting a wait-and-see stance towards the end of this year as they are still unclear about how it would affect them.

Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific automotive practice associate director Dushyant Sinha said customers were likely to adopt a cautious approach, closer to the GST implementation, hoping for reduction in car prices.
