I am in Bangkok right now and I picked up the auto section and guess what i saw? IS250 cost almost $91,000 usd when converted! ouch.

 

"...Cars are subject to a high luxury tax, equal to 200% of the car's value when new, as assessed by Thai customs (actually, the combined value new of overseas price plus local price), plus tax on the transport fee. "

 

Edited. Check your PM.

 

When I was in Singapore a year ago, the cheapest BMW was $96k, and that was for the 318i stripped down. My friend was looking a cycle and it was $45k, same bike in the us was $13k.

The USA is very cheap for cars.

Enjoy Thai.
