China-made car costs 19 times more in Singapore than in America

[Confuseous]

Cars in Singapore are sold up to 19 times more expensive than that in the United States. Ironically, Singaporeans are still more than happy to splurge on luxury brands such as Lamborghinis, BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz. Just how much do they pay then?

Singapore boasts one of the highest car prices in the world. Take one of the cheapest cars on Earth, Chery, for instance - as listed on sgCarMart.com, the most basic QQ retails at close to S$87,000 with taxes. However, according to an American motoring online portal, the China-made hatch goes for a mere US$3,600 (approx S$4,530) in the United States, 19 times cheaper than that for sale on the sunny island. If the QQ, being one of the cheapest cars available is so expensive in Singapore, why are Singaporeans buying alternatives which are even more expensive?

COEs should be pro rated to the OMV of vehicles. Fucking Sinkie peasant buy a small Cub bike which cost $4,000 from the dealer need to fork out 50% more ie. $2,000 for a COE in the motor bike category. Now compare that with Gurmit Singh's Lamborghini costing $60,000 for a CAT 16000cc above. How many percent is that?

Talking about Gurmit singh, let us wait to see him cry when the agent tells him how much to overhaul the Lambor's gearbox. Fucking chup cheng Sinkie!

The higher the car price the ration will drop. Because of the COE.
Car tax is 110% of the factory price. The rest go to COE, insurance,road tax, profit, agent commission.........
