In Taiwan that is. Got bored and configure a 2010 GT3 in Taiwan and man is it expensive! America may not have the lowest tax but we sure have the cheapest car price compare with everywhere else. Some Asian country tax something like 300% for foreign auto

 

Prices in Taiwan are roughly 70%+ MSRP of comparable vehicle in the US, new cars. The used cars as it gets older the prices get closer in both locations I think. From this particular example, looks like base price is 72% higher (US$112k vs 193k), but options price such as PCCB is only 31% higher (US$8,840 vs 11,636).

 

**** mi!

 

Exactly ...



Any one interested in moving to the Netherlands? ... I heard the **** mi/yu twins hang out often at the Porsche delaer lol

$305K USD for a RS

 

You must be REALLY bored today, of course i am on a tea break

 

Oh yeah ... it's the good life to be bored in my line of work. Thank god for car forum

 

I will be sending my RS over there soon. I will even knock off $5k for a cash buyer.

 

It's all relative.... could not afford here in the states either!

 

yeah don't sell your car here in u.s. tear it down and put them in separate boxes then ship to asia. put it back together and put it up for sale.

 

That's the idea for some but hard way to make a buck. I heard you can bring a car back to Taiwan if you have dual citizenship. Can you imagine selling a used GT3/RS there for $150K and it will be a bargain

 

Sounds like Corporal O'Reilly (MASH) tearing apart a jeep, piece by piece, shipping it home.

 

It gets worse elsewhere: I understand the base price for 2010 GT3 (not RS) in Singapore is roughly US$365,000. But it helps to rationalise this as a type of lease rather than an outright purchase -- without going into all the complexities, the government gives you a portion of the purchase price back if you scrap or export the vehicle within a certain number of years of initial registration. I wanted to do this with my former Singapore-registered 2008 GT3 but I couldn't import it into the UAE because the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

 

yup, when one can afford these cars in taiwan, you know you've made it

last year back to taiwan, i witnessed a dude crashed a 997 gt2. he didn't seem concerned at all

 

He should have called me and I could have fixed him up imediately.

 

aha speak from experience.
that's what we did with liter bikes 10-15 years ago.
