Honda City 2014 service and maintainance

will ooi — Wed, 11 Nov 2015 15:26:17 +0800

Hi, I just finished my Honda City 2014, 30000km service with W**S**R service centre, a big company. When the service centre showed me the total price, I'm a bit shock because it went to around RM430(without dust & pollen filter since no stock). After I checked with Honda Malaysia website, I found there is one item ""injector cleaning"quoted at RM180+GST, that totally not shown in Honda website. The engine oil price has been quoted at RM120.00 where I think it should be ok for full synthetic oil. Honda website shows engine oil + drain plug washer only RM76.63. For the rest of parts, the price are very similar except GST charge.

After I reached home, I took out all previous service bills from same service centre since the car has been serviced by same centre for 3 times.
I found that when 10000km service, there are also 2 special items which are Lubricant service and Fuel service, quoted RM45 each total RM90.

It seems that the service centre like to offer special service when I get free labour charge.

When I called the service centre and ask them about what they have done for the Lubricant service and Fuel service, they could not answer me properly. They just said that it's treatment, says for Fuel service, to protect from corrosion. When I asked what they did for the protection, they could not answer me very well. Just said its treatment.

I would like to get advice from you all that is the price the service centre quoted to me reasonable? Should I take the extra service? Are those extra service important for my car?

Or should I change to other service centre? Please help especially if you are also Honda owner and may be recommend a better service center.
Thank you very much!!

Tax payment for Rental

Hi all sifus in LYN. Siu dai have a question regarding the tax payment for rented house.

I have a house that already rented out for few years and now I increase the rental. Previously because the rental is quite low, so the tax amount on rental is quite low. However, I already increase the rental lately. Could I refinance the house to higher loan value, so that most of the rental payment are use to pay loan interest and reduce my tax payment? I need to declare it to LHDN so that I can get more loan for investment purpose in future.

At the same time, I can use the cash from refinance to either pay loan on the house for my own stay or buy another new property since the third house I'm under 70%LTV rules.

Will LHDN question on this since when I get lower rental I pay higher tax amount, compared to higher rental but I no need to pay tax on it?

Different of Flat rate & Effective rate of Loan

will ooi — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 20:41:46 +0800

I just went through the personal loan topic just now.
I found a lot of ppl cannot differentiate flat rate and effective rate.
A lot of ppl misunderstanding with the flat rate of say 2.99%, they are able to get the loan put it in FD account with 3.5% interest and earn more.

For hire purchase and personal loan, normally they are giving flat rate.
For home loan, the charged in on effective rate in general.

Any taikor to share the detail and different here?
