What must you do in Vietnam to afford a $140K car?

24601 · 02-08-2017, 06:43 PM

That M6 GC is amazing!

Raheem · 02-08-2017, 07:56 PM

Beautiful pictures of beautiful cars.

AndyLu · 02-08-2017, 08:25 PM

Vietnam is a beautiful country. Will be there soon

Sleeper · 02-08-2017, 09:18 PM

M2 is such an ugly little duckling amongst those other two low beasts. I wouldn't kick it out of bed but it's just not in the same league. M6 is still

despite its age.

Various businesses:import/export, selling luxury items, construction, etc. The owner of a popular wedding store in my hometown drives an i8. Let's say it's $150k in the US, it's about $450k in Vietnam. I'm always amazed at the wealth that exists there- people with Bentleys, Lambo aventadors, etc.

Gorgeous cars and shots. I love Vietnam. Spent about 3 weeks there last year and definitely need to go back. Such a great country, warm people, great food, and so on.

thanks for sharing! brings back memories of my stay there a few month ago!

Zajac1 · 02-09-2017, 09:48 AM

Prices of these cars in Vietnam are crazy ! Why most of the poor countries have always overpriced cars.?

in case of VN, more money for the government. Tax is at least 200%.

Not just poor country. 10 years ago, Toyota Camry in Singapore was $90k as there is not space for people to park.

aajami · 02-09-2017, 10:34 AM

I miss Vietnam! Great pics.

Agent11br · 02-09-2017, 10:49 AM

Killer pics

Yep. Normally, involved in business or kids of wealthy, corrupt politicians. After the war, tons of communist leaders started hoarding most the money and properties and taxed the hell out of businesses. Regardless, it's an absolutely beautiful country and the food is amazing. I was there about 8 years ago and walking down the street in Saigon, you'll see tons of motorbikes and then a $500k Bentley. Strange.
The M6 is amazing!

Mine is the M6

The i8 is different, since tax in Vietnam based on many factors, engine capacity is one of those. i8 has 1.5L one so tax is signiticant lower. You can buy an new i8 for *just* 250k$.

@all: I can see people amazed by how expensive car price is in Vietnam, and other Asian countries as well. There're lots of tax, fee ..etc. and it gonna increase year over year.
The country needs tax to build infrastructure. I've been travelling and driving in many Asian countries, as well as Europe and the US (lived in Denver for 3 years), and believe me, infrastructure and public transportation in Vietnam is the WORST:
- Big cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh city have crazy traffic, with millions of motorbike heading toward you

, most of foreigners can't even walk across the street.
- Highway system is just new. We had the first highway just 5 years ago (can you guys believe that?) and the quality is nothing compare to those in the US or Europe.
- So many motorbike is a big issue. Citizen has no choice, because public transportation is terrible. Only buses, no metro or light rail. The goverment is building some mono-rail train in big cities, however the process is very slow.

Luckily, I don't live in those big cities, just a small town, with no traffic jam, so I have chance to experience my beloved M6 to the fullest

Other than that, Vietnam is a wonderful country, with spectacular scenery, friendly people and wonderful food

. You guys definitely should come and experience. If anybody comes to the North of Vietnam, drop me a message and I will advice you the best thing to try

FYI, here's price of popular BMWs in Vietnam (officially imported by authorized dealer - not included 12% registration tax)
- BMW 118i: 60k
- BMW 320i: 66k
- BMW 330i: 80k
- BMW 420i cab: 130k
- BMW 520i: 95k
- BMW 640i GC: 172k
- BMW 730Li: 182k
- BMW 740Li: 222k (with most of optional equipment)
- BMW 750Li: 395k (with most of optional equipment)
- BMW X5, X6 xDrive35i: 168k
- BMW M2: 140k
- BMW M4 coupe: 180k
- BMW M3 sedan: 180k
- BMW M6 GC: 297k (no optional equipment, prior to tax increase in mid-2016, since then they don't import any M6)

Crazy price, but still can't compete with Singapore
