yepp thanks to 40% taxes and customs
a Toyota corolla 1.6 - basic - costs arround $25,000
so basicly this is why people here are anticipiating and liking chinese cars .
only cars not subject to custosm and taxes are localy assemblled ones .... like
the Chery A5 / A6 - Mercedes C/E/S - BMW 3/5/7 - Jeep Cherokee - Nissan Sunny - Daewoo Lanos - Daewoo Nubira - Hyundai Accent - Hyundai Verna and such ...
but they also suck cuz most of thier factories ship them with basic equipment and features except the fully loaded cherys , this is why they are a HIT here .
a Chery A5 costs less than my Fiat , altho its alot bigger , supposingly safer , with full safety and luxury equipment superior to its class.
and it even has a better waranty and a longer one than mine .
