crv ridiculous pric

[sitta]

i was surprised when i went to indonesia. the prices of cars are really expensive and i think it is set by the demands. here believe it or not crv is cheaper than a honda civic which is around 320.000.000 or aus $42000 and also the cost of honda odssy is very very expensive, approximately rp 500.000.000 or aus $70000. i just think that these prices are crazy.:eek:

You can't compare the two markets like apples and apples. They have different taxes, import duties, etc.

[nexace]

It's pretty much the same deal in Malaysia too. All imported cars are expensive...

For example, CRV would cost around 60k+(AU) whereas their locally made cars; Protons would be selling for much more affordable prices. This is to protect their own market and pretty much make people pay higher prices for a car which isn't locally made.

[~Sp33~]

Which is lucky, because if locally made ones where the same price who would ever buy a proton lol.

jazz is only a mere 150 million tho

[bajajracing]

hell yeah..
don't compare the price in aus and indonesia..
so that's why honda dealer owners are rich.
coz they got a lot of profits.

nah man, taxes in Indonesia are what makes the cars expensive.

a Celica costs about 80k

Proton is not a bad car to drive!

Try Singapore... A Civic can get you a Legend here..

In Malaysia, the import tax for car is........ Wait for it.....is like in excess of 300%.. This is done to protect the local (Proton) market which is why Malaysia wants to extend the FTA agreement date to a later time because when FTA kicks in, a Honda Civic will be a better buy than a Proton..

I was looking at the 2006 Euro R in Singapore recently. Almost fainted when I was told it was only $110k Singapore (about $90k AUD).

That's pricey compared to the Mazda 6 which was going for $65k :/

And plus the permit costs ~$30k

permit cost?

[Pogi]

permit cost?

Yup, you need to apply for a permit to own a car in Singapore, I forgot what the actual name of the document is but it's pretty heft depending on which car you get.

I think it was around 25k if you want to buy a Mazda sedan.

[kogarah]

yap man this is all about the tariff tax: ten years ago we spent near 80K USD to bought a V6 Camry in China.

[~Sp33~]

You spent 80k on a camry :'(

[kogarah]

yes SP33 we did. This is the business.

BTW, currently price of Audi Q7 4.2 in China is around 1.28M RMB or 230K AUD, still double price compare with AU.

[Shorty]

Kiiiiinda off topic....but my bf was just in Thailand and saw that Hondas (and I presume all cars) dont have heaters in them! lol....the knob just goes from cold to colder! hahaha...i know it makes sense, but it looks funny.hahaha

[040501912]

coz asia is tropical. 26-35 degree all year round lol.. no need heater :p

[andylo]

but I thought the heater is a very simple mechanic? Which just let the coolant flow thru the system? Wouldn't it more expensive to exclude it?
