Happy Roman New Year from Singapore (Chinese New Year is Feb. 3rd). Here are some Toyotas and 4x4’s from Singapore. Unfortunately I have not seen too much in the way of 4x4 Toyotas. I think there are two reasons for this:
1. Singapore is a big city like Manhattan. I’ve seen more Ferraris and Lamborghinis in the past 3 weeks than I’ve seen in my life.
2. The high cost of the car. If you think $75K for a new Land Cruiser is nuts you will be shocked by the cost of a car here. What can you get for $80K in Singapore? How about a Camry? Here is the breakdown:
Base car Price=$30K
Tax 110%=$33K
Title of Ownership=$10K (they limit the number of cars in the city with this)
Registration=$10K if you want to drive into the city center any day of the week, $5K if you only drive in on the weekends.
Total=$78-83K
Here is a cool little Suziki Jimny.

You even get a couple of cracks for unpaid parking tickets
