Global Price Comparison: The Toyota Corolla

yahoo news : Global Price Comparison: The Toyota Corolla Global Price Index

 

Singapore -

 

Earlier in March it was reported in The Economist that Singapore is the most expensive city in the world. The news didn't exactly come as a big surprise, with both property prices and car prices rising even further in 2013, the latter as a result of high Certificate of Entitlement (COE) prices and increased Additional Registration Fee (tax) on expensive cars.

 

But just how much more costly is it to own a car in Singapore? The Economist has had its own Big Mac Index around for some time now, so we decided to scour the Internet and assemble our own automotive version.

 

The car we used was a natural choice: The world's best-selling nameplate, with more than 40-million units shifted globally, and the closest thing to an automotive white good there is - the Toyota Corolla Altis.

 

With the launch of the new model globally, and it's now the same model sold everywhere else, it's the perfect choice for a study like this.

 

Earlier in the year another Yahoo story did something broadly similar, but our Toyota Corolla Global Price Index (TCGPI) compares the same good across borders with a much wider scope.

Analysis:

 

It's no surprise Singapore is still the most expensive place to buy a Toyota Corolla, after all we've been the subject of other stories on our huge car prices. It's enough to buy you a lovely Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG 4MATIC, or half of an SLS AMG Coupe, in the cheapest market, the USA.

Bookies should start a bet on the COE prices -

 

Higher than last bidding............. odds @ 1.01

Lower than last bidding.............. odds @ 9.00

Turbocharged

Plus the fact that we can only drive for 10 years , and assuming the car lasts 20 years in other countries , the depreciation calculation will have to be doubled when making comparison.
