The Penang government has decided on March 13 to purchase 15 units of the Toyota Camry 2.5 2019 complete built-up model for use as official cars, said financial officer Sarul Bahiyah Abu.

In a statement today, Sarul said the cost is RM184,912.50 per unit, with no tax deductions.

"However, after negotiation with the seller, we managed to get a discount of RM4,990.00 for each car," Sarul said.

"The current official cars will be replaced by these new Camry as the expected maintenance cost is lower and has better safety aspects," she added.

Sarul said the current official cars, also Toyota Camry, have been in use as official cars for six years and the guarantee period has expired.

The current cars need to be sent for repairs and have high maintenance cost of about RM11,030 each per year (2013 – 2018), she noted.
