    Don't you think Php2 Million pesos converted to American Dollars = $40,000
    is too expensive?

    In US. The price of a E-Class Benz is the same.

    Function of taxes. Note:

    Subaru WRX -

    US Price: 1.25 million pesos (estimate)
    Philippine Price: 1.68 million pesos - 430k mark up.

    Nissan Murano -

    US Price: 1.6 million pesos (estimate)
    Philippine Price: 2.65 million pesos - 1 million peso mark up.

    Honda Pilot -

    US Price: 1.5 million pesos (estimate)
    Philippine Price: 2.6 million pesos - 1.1 million peso mark up.

    Mercedes E-Class

    US, cheapest version, E350 - 2.52 million pesos (estimate) (no, you can't buy it at under 50k $ anymore)
    Philippine Price: E280 ONLY - 5.12 million pesos - 2.6 million peso mark up.


    It's all taxes.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    although....

    local mazda3 800k
    US price $14k = 700k

    konti lang difference.

    the tax / price differential is on the much more expensive cars. unfortunately the tax brackets aren't changing, but car prices are steadily creeping upward.

    ganun talaga... first time nalaman ko about the taxes here... i nearly cried. my dreams of getting a decent e55 benz or bmw m5 is shattered damn taxes.

    Actually those prices are the MSRP and nobody in their right mind pays the MSRP here, almost all bargain the prices down to dealers invoice price. When I bought my truck the dealer wanted something like $31.5K and I got it dropped to about $27.6K just by negotiating the price. Also prices are not inclusive of taxes when you are given a price. The taxes, title, and registration are added to the price, so the price of that Camry would still be plus T,T,R.

    Our Camry is made in Thailand.

    And I think your V40 Camry is made in Kentucky ata.

    The payment for the cargo ship (from Thailand to the Phil.) is also part of the 2m peso price tag.

    USDM Camry are made in Kentucky at ang iba galing Japan, so mas mahal siguro ang shipping from Japan to States compared to Thailand to Phils. Not to mention mas mahal labor/parts/assembly sa Japan di ba? Starting price for I4 is $18,900, starting ng V6 is $23,000 and up to $28,000 for Hybrid with leather, sunroof, Bose sound system and Navigation.
