I will never understand if 1.00 TTD = 13.1327 JPY and 1.00 EUR = 9.13354 TTD how de fack ya getting Euro cars (Focus, Octavia,Bravo,Peugot) Full spec for under 200k versus a Japanese car ie. Lancer, Corolla,Mazda 3, Civic going for over 200k Mid - full spec


Have a friend working Classic Motors who told me 2yrs ago they purchase a civic for TT60K unlicensed from HONDA plant and before all relevant taxes are paid ,yet they selling for 200k+ ..........Just boils down to greed I guess

I am,but still don't agree with the heinous markups they charge the average hard working individual for an average mid spec sedan.....

Honestly, aren't taxes suppose to be of a certain percentage of the actual cost of the new vehicle? ie. VAT,customs,cost to liscence?

Lets say TT$60k for the new civic landed ok, then 45% taxes= $27k additional

So we have $87k plus 20k to liscence =107k plus their markup of 100k

TOTAL=207k?....for a mid spec civic?

Don't get me wrong, but from a business perspective, OK, you have to make profit like any other business and what not...but how come you can get a full spec focus ghia 1.6 for 190k or an Octavia with slightly more features and more cabin space than the Ghia for 185k (4k more with sunroof)?

My argument is not necessarily how much we pay for those japanese cars,but the sheit we paying top dollar for in this country is my grouse.....as much as I respect and love Japanese cars they can suck on these nuts for all I care...I fully supporting Euro till I die...don't even mention the "parts" issue for euros...I land my own parts here for less than what we trinis paying top dollar for,for Japan and Euro parts in our market

[Stephon.]

And the prices will keep getting higher and higher. But even used vehicles are being sold above the price they should be sold for. I've seen B14 / B15 being sold at 60k and up

[jhonnieblue]

its all about status quo
trinis are macomere set of people and they newer and more expensive car u have, the higher class association and respect people feel they get
hence whatever the cost of a new vehicle, trinis willing to pay
the mark up of new vehicles and service is ridiculous across the board

[Chimera]

:lol: And the prices will keep getting higher and higher. But even used vehicles are being sold above the price they should be sold for. I've seen B14 / B15 being sold at 60k and up

wish I could get 50k for meh b15

^^^It's $249k and it comes with a 750W Rockford Fosgate sound system. Problem is, the ASX ugly and too small.

[scotty_buttons]

Is there ANYTHING that can be done to force vehicle firms to stop this nonsense?! apart from boycotting/striking that is..
no legal initiative can be taken? anything?
I know it's probably a dumb question but.. something has to be done.

y'all do know that prices for other cars in the Optima's class (mid size sedans) are well over 300gran right? namely the accord, camry, teana, legacy, etc.
heck, their STARTING prices are over 300gran!
I think that's a good price there..good feature line too.
