The dwindling ringgit and rising cost of living are no doubt serious concerns for many Malaysians, but that certainly didn't stop 12 individuals from snapping up all of Lazada's limited edition Volkwagen Beetles in just 20 minutes
The collaboration between Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) and Lazada, a first for the e-commerce platform, was launched in conjunction with the Lazada Online Revolution campaign.

Apparently, the first Beetle was booked almost immediately i.e. 26 seconds after the midnight launch on Tuesday, 12 December
Two limited edition models were made available for the campaign – the "Herbie 53" in Pure White and White Silver, and the "Hot Bug" in Tornado Red.
The limited edition Beetles were sold at RM112,112 each at an 18% discount from its original retail price of RM136,888
To lock down a unit, customers were required to purchase a Welcome Kit for RM5,000, which also doubled as a pre-payment booking fee
The Welcome Kit includes a Volkswagen keychain and a Touch 'n Go card with RM100 preloaded.
The limited edition Beetles also come with a five-year manufacturer warranty and five-year roadside assistance.
