Why are cars in the Philippines expensive?

**jblue2000** · September 13th, 2012 11:36 AM

It is a lot more expensive because Filipinos are still buying it eventhough they know it is much expensive. Basically, that's it. This country sucks because most Filipinos weather private or public are corrupt minded. Truely shameful and we must change.

Sirs, which country has the cheapest or cheaper car? and how's the price of the cars here compared to our asian neighboring country? in SG, the cost of a car is thrice as much. Titulo pa lang milyones na.

government is taxing it too much.. take the case of the Pilot and Odyssey..

in Canada:
Pilot = $43K (at 42.50 = 1.8M)
Odyssey = $36K (at 42.50 = 1.5M)

Here:
Pilot = 2.6M
Odyssey = 2.8M

^^^ Tama si bro.Qwerty,- tax.

Nuong P50+=$1, at papataas pa,- sabi nila ito ang dahilan kung bakit mahal ang cost ng sasakyan....

Tapos ngayong P42=$1,- mas mahal pa ang nangyari....

Hay naku!

For a stripdown version of the same brand and model that the US offers,- minsan mas mahal pa rito....

16.8K:laundry:

That's because they're imported all the way from America.

If the Pilot and Odyssey were made in the ASEAN, you'd be able to buy them at just 2.2m and 1.8m, respectively.
