That must cost an absolute fortune in Singapore!

Why cruise control in Singpore, don't see any use?

Ciao,

Sameer,lovely looking GT3.
I've been to Singapore and from what I know, your lucky friend much have paided a pretty penny for the GT3.
If I had to guess, it's worth at least 300k there

Guys,
once again, thanks for the kind words. Arj's 996 GT3 Mk 2 with options cost abt US$365,000 and mine with mods about US$150,000. Thats half a million bucks. Isit worth it, well hell yeah every cent of it.
The BBS wheels are lovely from a distance and up close but you gotta really have good roads to have them on. Apparently it had to be resealed locally because the pressure kept dropping and honestly, BBS tech support sucks.

170% duty + COE of about 45K (i believe) - Singapore is a bit pricey - the upside is if you can buy the car the options are litterly peanuts.
my ride in s-pore would be a Bike FS

The import taxes has been reduced but car price reduction do not justify the current prices. consumers are not enjoy as much reduction in sales price relative to the tax reduction.

Motorcycles are good deals in singapore. Tax isnt as high due to lower cost of goods.

Yearly taxes and insurance is a killer too.
My GTR and RS are fully registered and insured...and they do less than 2000km a year..
