Car buyers in Singapore must pay for excise and registration duties of about 150 percent of the vehicle’s market value, as well as bid for a limited number of government permits, called certificates of entitlement, that allow a car on the road for 10 years. The cost of a permit alone would now buy a new Porsche Boxster in the U.S., or a C-Class Mercedes in Hong Kong, where curbside pollution rose to a record last year.

Yeah not easy to keep a sports car in Malaysia or singapore

Either pay a crapload for road tax in sg and pay a fortune for a garage, or pay 300% car tax on a new car in Malaysia.

Anyways weclome abourd .

How much did the FD2R cost you in sg?

Mate has one in KL and cost hin like $70k AU new

[manonastick]

Very jeelly man
Its one of those cars in australia you cant buy with money. . (as in you could but its stupid)
Thumbs up

[niiCk]

Just came back from sg, saw so many FD2Rs and other cars that'll make most of ozhonda jealous lol..
but like bludger said, the cars over there cost a ridiculous price and before you can drive it you need the CEO paper which costs about a BMW here in Aus.
And yeah, usually you keep the car for 10 years before you have to replace it. If you choose to keep your car longer than that, the CEO thing costs more:(

i dont know how the drivers over there do it..seriously, every 2 minutes you'll see a lambo or a ferrari..ballers!

[walterpan]

hi all,

yup, spore car prices is riduclously hi...the purpose is to curb the car population (totally bullsh*T)..I paid ard SGD83000 for a used FD2R..it left about 7 yrs to go before it hit the scarp yard. the new FD2R price now hovers around SGD170k..

but anyway, Fd2R is already a collection here in spore..

[jian]

singapore ftw:thumbsup: where the paper that says u can own a car cost more than the car

nice ride btw.
i love how it cost u just 4k more than a new coe
