That's why the
dealers make US customers sign non-export clauses with purchase.

Oh...140K for a 40d..thats a steal
I paid like that, as a very good deal actually-for my 25d here AND that doesn't even include the wood trim, huh!!! Now, seriously, is the trim real wood or some kind of plastic? I mean - even for the very best treated wood, tiny surface cracks could may be expected as it is a "live" material after all - but if its some other modern material, no cracks should be expected IMHO. Thanks Bent |

Sorry to hear about the cracks in the trim, xeo2002. That's the trim that came with the Pure Experience package here in Singapore, so in the end, I opted for the Pure Excellence trim instead, which came with the more standard smooth polished American Oak interior trim.
My X5 xDrive35i is about 85% loaded as well, and after conversion (1 USD = 1.25 S$), I parted with USD306,240 for it. You guys don't know how good you have it! But congrats on an excellent car choice buddy, fine cracks notwithstanding! |

@xeo2002, sorry for your cracks as well. That is rather annoying. Now, I'm even more happy that I'm wrapping my whole wood panel trim with Carbon Fiber.

306K is almost 100% more than here but Singapore is generally expensive country - city . I am going to claim this central trim as it is natural wood , anyway this kind of cracks not supose to apear when car is brand new. This is quite new kind of trim and i suspecting my dealer store while installing additionall GPS system they was removing this trim for some reason and during Putting it back they forced it that is why is cracked .

Wait till you hear the best bit ... all our cars, yup that includes the F02, F13 & the F15 in my garage at the moment, are in actual fact, on a 10-year lease. Once that 10-year lease is up, in order for me to keep my babies, I need to pay a top up called the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) to the government - at present prices, the top up will set me back $75,000 - per car.
Oh, I own the cars alright, I bought them, paid for them & they are registered in my name. It's just that I don't have the right to put them on the road & drive in them without paying the additional COE (I could keep them as ornaments in my driveway otherwise). Enjoy your rides at the prices you pay guys, while I look on in envy (but I'm happy for you guys!) Last edited by Wobbles; 09-30-2014 at 11:08 PM.. |

I knew SG was extreme regarding carprices...but that's crazy. Of course...we cannot compare $ for $ really as many factors play in, BUT Its interesting to observe the unreal differences around the world. Best Bent |

I don't see what I would call cracks, but here are some pictures of the trim under my screen.

When I watched that video I thought: Ya, less congested roads for rich people to drive on! All those hoopties are slowing them down. Hooptie = a spanky new Prius in Singapore. Wait, I don't really want a Prius in front of me either. |
