Default Buying a Porsche in Singapore....

..is not for the faint of wallet. I just git back and will post a blog, but fir fun I configured an identical spec to the Panama's I have on order here. A Singapore dollar is almost perfectly at par with CAD,,,

Note how the Singapore invoice doesn't give you an "Estimate Monthly Payment" option.
Pay up now!

I was in Malaysia last month and it was pretty much the same. I visited a Mercedes and BMW dealer in KL. A base 320i was starting around 70K CDN, an M4 was almost 230k CDN!!! Used car prices are reflective of those prices as well. The guys I met the track were losing their minds when I was telling them prices of Pcars, BMWs etc in Canada

Mercedes is hammering all luxury brands in sales now. They have such a great line up. E63 also comes in Wagon format... They are bringing over the C63 wagon as well.

See Singapore is banning additional cars on the road. Used to allow 0.25% annual growth in permits. As of Feb 2018 Need to wait for somebody to give up their vehicle permit. Then buy at auction.

No room to drive anyway!

Price aside.
What is amazing is that they sell any? At that price.
And they do.

^The country has so much wealth.. They could distribute $500k to each citizen and still have huge cash flow.. SING was named 2nd best city in the world to live in.. T.O was 4th, (IIRC)

does the cost above include the COE certificate?? if not take that msrp and practically have to double it before the car is on the road.

north americans have it the best re car prices. even us Canadians get quite the savings imo as we are so close to the states.
