to get an idea of the relative cost you would have to normalize for cost of living, wage levels, etc.
That's even worse.

You can feed yourself for 2 USD in Taiwan per meal.

The most pathetic thing is that a college grad starting salary is 22,000 NT, or about 760 USD a month.

If you weren't born rich, it is pretty difficult to have what most Americans consider a middle class life style in Taiwan.

Wink Philippines, price for a BMW M3 Coupe

Based on current exchange rate of Php 42.23 to USD 1.00, the Philippine BMW dealer price is Php 8,350,000.00 which equates to USD 197,726.74!!!!!! for a M3 Coupe. Insurance for the M3 is Php 273,000.00 which equates to another USD 6,464.00 so all in all, to buy (legally from dealership) and insure a new M3 Coupe in Manila will take you a whopping USD 200K +

Price for a Ferrari F430 Convertible (way back a couple of years) with standard option took somewhere Php 25,000.000.00 so that is equivalent to USD 592,000.00 on current exchange rate. best part of all this is that, we have a Ferrari and soon coming Lamborghini official dealership in Manila. We already have Porsche dealership ever since the 90's, Ferrari, early year 2000+ then the latest addition is Lamborghini. Wonder when McLaren will come in hahahaha

Well, at least in the Phillipines you guys can have new machine guns and auto rifles. Unlike in the U.S. where we can only have machine guns and auto rifles made prior to 1986 because of the NFA law.

But ough, I sure hope they are using all that tariff income wisely.

A Lambo is 1.2M in China. People in the US have it good when it comes to gas and car prices.
