The study pertains specifically to Porsche, but is likely quite relevant across all prestige marques.

Read the prices here, amazing stuff:

It's interesting in a "ripped off" sort of way. I remember looking at Cayman prices when the yanks were complaining that a top of the line, fully optioned car was going to be about US$70K. When I specced one here it was nearly $170K Australian. thumbsdown

As far as the whacked out Denmark price goes, that is legitimate!

I've been googling and it seems Danes get taxed 180% of the car price to put a license plate on it!!!

Just google Denmark car taxes to look stuff up yourself and be amazed! sad

Mmm - Just checking the latest prices for 355's in the UK, and the current average price (nominal mileage) for a GTS is a round £37K. And I know with some patience you can find some nice 'non wet weather' FFSH driven types. Sort of makes me want to go back and PI another one. At that price I could have it on the road here for around Au$110,000. Not too worried about the Oz resale value as I drive to enjoy, not import to profit. happy

One year later, the prices of Porsche 977 GT2s... (links on the page linked in first post)

All prices in $AUD at the time based on XE.com exchange rate, format =
$THEN - Country - $NOW

$218k - US - $300k
$270k - Japan - $415k
$291k - UK - $275k
$299k - Switzerland - $395k
$316k - Germany - $374k
$319k - France - $377k
$320k - Italy - $378k
$347k - Brunei - $464k
$349k - Spain - $413k
$425k - Australia - $447k
$465k - China - $745k
$504k - Hong Kong - $747k
$594k - Malaysia - $719k
$920k - Denmark - $1.08m

Sadly I didn't record the price in the originating country so most of the prices reflect our flimsy dollar at the moment - take it how you will.
