Overpriced hyundai prices

[m_ayuyao]

Are Hyundai prices here in the Philippines overpriced compared to the U.S (edmund.com)?

Or are all car companies here in the Philippines overpricing their vehicles. Please post you opinions.

All RP vehicles are overpriced compared to the US. One word. TAXES!

Sir Tidus...do you know the tax rate for the cars that's being sold here. So that I can compute if the prices are reasonable or not. Also, so that I can convince my dad in the U.S. that price difference is because of taxes. Thanx...

hmmm...

Taxes form an additional 50%-100% of the vehicle SRP... higher taxes for the CBU imports.

KIA is overpriced compared to hyundai...

Wow...kung ganun, we the buyers are at a big disadvantage. Considering the value of the vehicle we purchase depreciates significantly when it leaves the dealer showroom.

How can we better put ourselves in a better position to get a 'good' deal/price? I wonder if there is a similar website to edmund.com for the Philippines? Any negotiating strategies?

wala sir, the best you can do to lower the price is to haggle for discounts and freebies...

cguro hyundai price dito samen vs u.s ang overprized. pero hyundai dito saten vs other brand tingin ko tama lang ang prize.

the new Tucson is priced at $19,800 to $24,345 in the US

That's Php 910,000 to Php 1,120,000 converted. Not that much of a difference in comparison for the entry level. It's the high end models that gets taxed more ...

yun naman features are not taxed more, that's more of more mark up with the dealer. diba ang tax is based on engine displacement, number of seats and 4x2/4x4.

the thing is if an escape carries all the same features as a top of the line hyundai tucson or crv petrol. but the escape offers it at 300K less than the two. then mark-up ng dealer yun

as the entry level tucson at sub 1M, laki pa din markup ng Hari dyan coz escape/xtrail can give at same price with complete features like ebd, dual airbag, foglamps, etc. etc.

But then again the Escape and X-trail came from the dinosaur ages already (sarcasm)...

I think the most contributing factor of the escape's price is that it is made in RP.

Different tax system I guess.

Another thing is most Korean vehicles sold in the country are CBU from Korea.

Most of its competitors either assemble their mainstream vehicles locally or soruce it from an ASEAN plant (ASEAN Free Trade Area).

yung nissan murano Z is priced at 3.1m pesos ata. yun sa tingin ko ang overpriced for a cuv lang. pero loaded daw ng features yung murano Z. same engine with nissan 350Z yung murano. pero ang mahal pa din niya. for that amount of money makakabili ka na ng toyota prado.

Its similar to the pre-2007 350Z engine which is basically the 3.5 liter V6 used in many V6 Nissan models including the Teana. Its called VQ35DE.
In the Murano its tuned to produce 265hp.

In the older 350Z models the VQ35DE was tuned to produce a higher 287hp-300hp.
Later in the the 350Z's life this was replaced by the slightly more powerful VQ35HR which produced 306hp.

PS: The latest Z (370Z) uses a VQ37VHR which makes 332hp.
