I'm currently on a business trip here in Singapore and found out the price to buy/own a car here.
A regular Toyota Corolla will run you about $45k (USD!) and you can only keep it for 10 years. After 10 years, you gotta scrap it and get a new car.
A Porsche of any year will cost an ungodly amount of money (yet, I've seen about 5-6 Porsches in the last 2 days here). Something to the tune of $150k-$300k+ for normal BMWs, Boxsters, Benzs. Keeping a used car (over 10 years) costs alot also as you have to pay extra for the priviledge, every year.
The transmission rebuild and clutch that I got coming up early next year is looking like chump change to me now. Man, I practically stole my car for the price I got it at, at least when comparing to what cars cost over here.
ObPorscheSighting: I've seen a Porsche 944 Turbo, a sliver 944 with some sort of modified front hood, a convertible white 911 from the 70's or 80's, a black 911, and a silver C2 911. All seemed to kept in immaculate condition.
