- dogma1138 5y agoYep I don’t think people understand that what might be considered a “housekeeper car” in the US can be a luxury around the world even in relatively developed places like Europe and parts of Asia… What costs $30K in the US can easily cost double as many countries levy high taxes on imported vehicles and that while $30K in the US puts you near the bottom it’s upper middle class salary in many places around the world still. The average gross wages across many EU members are still below what a new Camry costs… Looking at hey.car a 2019 Camry Executive with 33K km on it goes for €30K in Germany… The Camry isn’t available in Greece but the Prius Plug-in is and it starts at €40K. Considering that the average yearly gross income in Greece in 2020 was just under €17K even owning a new Yaris might make you middle class…
- davchana 5y agoYes, agreed. The first car I bought in 2013, in India was a 30k kilometers, 2009 model year VW Polo. In today's dollars, it was about $6000. Most mid class or smaller SUVs, local or locally assembled (like Toyota or Ford) are around 10-15k dollars, brand new. Interestingly, the Ford I bought in US was made & assembled in India..
