As I mentioned before the base model FQ300 in the Uk works out at roughly $55000!
The FQ360 which I have ordered is $75500!!! Which is still about $30000 cheaper than the new M3 or GTR. But either way we get fucked royally for cars, especially seeing as they dont even have to swap the steering wheel over from Japan! :mad:

In Turkey,
IX was EUR.57500
X will probably be around EUR.60000 (USD.87000)
Our tax is %60 + %18 VAT .
If I was in US, I can get a GTR instead of X.

BUT will mitsu still warrant the car here in europe or is the warranty bound to mitsunorthamerica?

For that price difference, don't worry about the warranty. You won't use that much money worth of warranty claims.

i also thought about getting one in US but then how could get any future reflash/updates for that US model after has been brought here in europe?

Mad_Al
04-21-2008, 03:34 PM
do the reflashes vary from usa to europe?

Probably going to purchase one in the US since it costs almost half less then over here. Just curious if I should register it in the US, got parents there, and try to still get warranty here in europe IF american tourists can get warranty on their cars.

But still got alot of questions.

-Should I wait some months for the gremlings to be sorted out (seats falling apart etc?) + for leather package on the gsr?
-Where in the US will I get the biggest bargain from dealers
-Do american tourists get warranty on their cars if they bring them for their holiday-stay to europe(italy)?
-Any European here experienced with car imports? (Would probably get it registered in Austria since they have a TÜV and got a house there too.
-Any dealers homepages you would recommend? (east coast preferred)
-might combine my car purchase with a nice holiday, maybe with a rental evo x. Are there any evo x rental cars available anywhere at all?

Sorry for the myriad of questions, and thanks in advance for your replies

Mojito
04-21-2008, 04:08 PM
I don't know of any car company which would support grey imports and extend warranty to cars unofficially imported to other markets. Besides, there may be technical differences in car design (i.e. hot or cold climate modifications) which may cause breakdowns and warranty claims or render the car illegal in certain countries.
The car companies don't make more money out of sales to Europe vs US. The price difference comes taxes and duties. US gov. chose not to charge any VAT, taxes and duties on imported (and domestic) cars, hence low prices.
If you want to import a car from US be ready to pay custom duties and taxes to get it custom cleared and registered. Do your research for your country, but most likely it will turn out to be more expensive than if you bought locally.
I'm importing my Evo from US (it should be on its way to Russia). Given the taxes and overheads that I'm going to pay, it will not be any cheaper for me. The reason I'm doing it is because Russian Mitsu hasn't even announced the car here yet, so the earliest I would be getting my car is september and I don't want to loose racing season. I will not have any warranty and I realize that, which gives me the opportunity to tune the crap out of the car now without the fear of voiding it.

Check my chart with the porsche example. imho its obvious porsche makes more money out of sales in europe then in the us + its not he vat thats killing us. if we immatriculate imports in europe we still have to pay the vat. whats outrageous is the pricing. there is no reason why in an the EU domestically produced item should cost less then the US.

There's nothing obviouse in your chart. These are consumer prices, and you should know what they consist of. There is no VAT in US, and that's the first 20% off the price. Then there are other taxes. And don't ask me why the goverments charge so much and why German WV passat cost in Germany 40% more than in Greece (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3527069.stm).
Why petrol costs 2x more in Europe than in US when Brent and Light Sweet prices are almost the same.
Why plasma screens cost 2x more in Europe than in US.

Yeah and they consist of the german labour, german parts and german taxes.
So what is YOUR point why its cheaper in the US. its obvious PAG makes more money out of european sales then the us sales.
sell a carrera for 46k€ (55.2 with 20% mwst/iva/vat added). + export costs etc
vs the 81k€ in europe

there is a whopping 30k euro difference between both.

A car costing less somehwere else then it is produced, only means they have to make less profit per sale because else they wouldnt sell any cars. because with an average salary of 12k€ in greece noone can spend 30k€ for a passat (vw only makes 332€ profit per sold car).
Hence they set the price lower in greece as long as they make any profit.

Same with the carrera, their profit marging on an US sold carrera is way lower then on a carrera sold in europe

porsche has a profit of 9396€ per car in the US and 21799€ per car sold in europe. and that is a fact i can back up and post if you can read german.

Im wondering how long companies will be able to get away with this.
With the ever continuing globalization of the world market it's gonna be interesting to see how long companies will be able to 'hide' the differences from their ever more aware customers.


Why petrol costs 2x more in Europe than in US when Brent and Light Sweet prices are almost the same.


Lets take Italy for example. the petrol example is something TOTALLY different so if we make comparisons lets make intelligent comparisons please. porsches are made in germany. petrol is not made in italy. we have to import the stuff + taxes. 7cent per litre go to the gas station. 14cent to the gas stations company. and the rest is just taxed. So why is the light cost lower? The petrol and coal burnt for the energy production does not have that huge consumer tax on it. + on peak times the country profits from its dam network and geothermal water heating

Point is that taxes in Europe and other countries account for the difference, and not just VAT. You should know this for your country. But I'm 100% positive that in my coutry car manufacturers are not getting more than in US even though the consumer prices are 2x higher than in US.

I don't think Porche will agree with you or with whoever made this calculation:
PRESS RELEASE:

One-off and extraordinary effects result in distorted figure
Porsche refutes B&D Forecast profitability calculation

Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, refutes the calculation of the B&D-Forecast forecast institute as unserious. In a study the institute asserts that with each of the 96,794 sports cars Porsche sold in the 2005/2006 financial year, Porsche earned an average of €21,799 Euros. The calculation is misleading because it does not take into account the extensive one-off and extraordinary effects which impacted the pre-tax result of the Porsche Group in the 2005/06 financial year and which have nothing to do with the original Porsche business.

Thus €203 million Euros of the pre-tax result comes from the participation in Volkswagen AG. This figure is largely purely an accounting one, which Porsche must include in its statement of earnings, even though not a single Euro flows to the sports car manufacturer. What is more, income from hedging transactions in connection with the VW participation resulted in a considerable three-figure amount in millions. This equally had just as little with the actual vehicle business. Furthermore, with the disposal of CTS Fahrzeug-Dachsysteme GmbH, the sports car manufacturer realized a book profit of €80.7 million Euros. This amount also cannot be allocated to the vehicle business.
(http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/25/porsche-denies-optimistic-earnings-per-car-report/)
So, give us some real numbers.



Im wondering how long companies will be able to get away with this.
With the ever continuing globalization of the world market it's gonna be interesting to see how long companies will be able to 'hide' the differences from their ever more aware customers.

I don't know about you, but I've been aware of this difference for the last 10 years and I know that people to address it with sit in my own government.

Lets take Italy for example. the petrol example is something TOTALLY different so if we make comparisons lets make intelligent comparisons please. porsches are made in germany. petrol is not made in italy. we have to import the stuff + taxes. 7cent per litre go to the gas station. 14cent to the gas stations company. and the rest is just taxed.
Petrol is not imported (well, mostly), you import crude oil and refine it locally. So, crude prices, refining costs and trade margins are more or less the same in US and Europe, the 2x price difference is in taxes, as you correctly mentioned. In that way it is similar to car prices (and just about anything else).
Electricity prices are not relevant, since there are too many factors affecting them in different countries.

here the official prices in italy:
GSR 46500 euro (~$69000)
MR 54000 euro (~$80000) :wtfsign:

just to give an idea, a bmw 335xi (4WD) sedan with some accessories is 49000 euro (~$73000)
or if looking for something more sporty, Corvette c06 6.2 Competition at about 60000 euro (~$89300), just 6000 euro more.

at those prices im afraid many X will just collect dust in dealer's showrooms :(

but take into consideration the salary of said individuals, most likely if you're making 50kUSD/yr, the other person in UK is making 50kGBP/yr also. Take the percentage of that and then compare.


If only that was anything like the truth :lol: I used to frequently visit the US and have friends who live over there. Simple facts are that the cost of living in the US is better than over here and disposable income is greater.

The fact remains that Mitsubishi are clearly making a profit on each X unit sold in the US. So once they sell it in the UK they are making at least double that profit on each unit sold. And they dont even have to swap the side of the steering wheel.

haven't read through the entire thread but I think it's really stupid for people to compare USD value of a car vs Euro Value of a car. You're comparing apples to oranges. Yes on paper it looks like the USD is a great purchase because of the exchange rates but you guys aren't even adjusting for cost of living.

Case in point

EVO X in USA = 32k USD
EVO X in UK = 32k GBP

on paper yes the EVO X in USA looks like half off because of the exchange rate, rough estimate 1 GBP = 2 USD

but take into consideration the salary of said individuals, most likely if you're making 50kUSD/yr, the other person in UK is making 50kGBP/yr also. Take the percentage of that and then compare.

I don't get why ppl keep comparing currencies, it's mute to a point. Basic finance.

I m not agree with you.Here in my country (EUROPE-Slovenia) people is making 30kEUR/yr- 45kUSD/yr.And the price for EVO x GSR is 71000 USD and for MR is 83000 USD.:(:(

Because of that reason i was imported my EVO from US and cost me final price 55480USD.

about same here in Italy, the average salary is really low

if someone can read a bit of italian
http://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/SoleOnLine4/Economia%20e%20Lavoro/2008/03/Italia-Ocse-salari-bassi.shtml?uuid=c7aaf112-ef93-11dc-8c36-00000e25108c&DocRulesView=Libero (http://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/SoleOnLine4/Economia%20e%20Lavoro/2008/03/Italia-Ocse-salari-bassi.shtml?uuid=c7aaf112-ef93-11dc-8c36-00000e25108c&DocRulesView=Libero)

"Se la passano peggio degli italiani, in Europa solo i portoghesi e gli abitanti dei Paesi dell'ex area dell'Est; in fondo alla classifica anche turchi e messicani. Per il resto in tutti gli altri paesi si registra un salario medio più alto. In Corea il salario medio è di 37.844 dollari l'anno. Se si resta in Europa, dalla classifica Ocse emerge comunque che un inglese guadagna quasi il doppio (l'87,8% in più) di un italiano, un tedesco il 43,1% e un francese il 28,6% in più. L'Italia è nettamente sotto la media Ocse (24.660 dollari), Ue a 15 (26.434) e Ue a 19 (23.282)."

In despite of that, in italy cars and fuel are among the most expensive in Europe because of d##n taxes.
