National car benefits market

From Neraca

I have wanted to own a car for a long time, a luxury automobile if possible. Therefore the decree on the national car has attracted my attention.

The many reports and articles on the national car have led me to the following conclusions: The granting of facilities to the Timor is less than fair. However, the policy has forced other car manufacturers to reconsider the pricing of their products. If they want to keep their customers, they must cut their prices. Some of them have cut the price of their cars, coming close to the price of the Timor.

I have decided to postpone buying a car until there are further price reductions. I am confident that in a few months' time automobiles like the Suzuki Esteem and the Toyota Starlet will become cheaper.

I may not acquire a Timor car after all. I will choose a better make at a comparable price.

People sharing my view should wait for the price decrease before purchasing a car.
