Price Of Cars Around The World

[ashsimmonds]

I've often sat there thinking about the prices of cars - most of the people I chat online with are Aussie, US, or UK, and so I generally know pretty well the price of cars in each region. But I wanted to know more, so I went through a bunch of the worldwide Porsche 997 GT2 pages to check out prices from around the world. Real eye-opening stuff!

Full article here (with links to each reference page etc):

So... What you're saying is don't buy a porsche in denmark?

On a similarish (if thats a word...) note I was in Vanuatu early last year and it was amazing how the major car manufacturers dont give a proverbial rats about safety and comfort if it isnt legislated!

Try a brand new twin cab toyota hilux for example.

14 inch rims with piddly tyres

Fixed position bench seat

Non retracting seat belts

No airbags

No adjustable steering colum

Steering colum has no impact collapse

No air conditioning just a fan (just brilliant in a tropical climate driving round in the rain with fogged windscreen).

I've forgotten the full list of non existent safety and comfort accessories but the crowning balls kick is the Aus $35,000 price tag!!!

As far as the whacked out Denmark price goes, that is legitimate!

I've been googling and it seems Danes get taxed 180% of the car price to put a license plate on it!!!

Just google Denmark car taxes to look stuff up yourself and be amazed!

That's ridiculous. I'm surprised the Dane's can afford to even drive a car.

ive got some homework for you...

research the price of putting a tank of petrol in the car in each of those suggested countries see if it changes things much..

heres one for ya

Some time ago I was in Hawaii and while there i had to have a bit of a look at the cars there

So I noticed a Pontiac GTO which is pretty much the identical thing as our Monaro

Now here CV8 Monaros were selling for what 50 or 60 grand ish....Over there brand new Pontiac GTO in dealer yard going for $34000 US...Amazing when you think heres a car thats originally built in Australia,exported to the US and still sells a hell of a lot cheaper than here..We get ripped off here for many things..acohol also...Bottle of Malibu here sells for about $30 ish...over there $17 and I am told its even cheaper away from all the tourist areas....
