iPhone 12 Pro so expensive in India that you can fly to Dubai to buy it, come back, and still save money

I mean like other sites, some dont have coloured text

True.  It’s pretty common these days but not all will have it and every one of them is going to be a bit different  to access.  As a pan internet thing I’m suspecting it has already been tried and failed.

Case in point:

Base model Porsche Macan, MSRP in Canada is $57,800 CAD. 

57,800 CAD = 37,167.78 EUR

 

It's cheap! But it's without tax?

 

In France, a base model Porsche Macan costs 62,779 EUR with tax. (97,618.63 CAD)

 

And in Germany, it costs 59,591 EUR with tax. (92,669.14 CAD)

Don't quote me on this (i don't know about cars), but someone on this thread said the Indian price is also without tax

If it is, this is pretty laughable (not if I want to buy a Macan though)

Chances of no taxes at all is very close to zero.

As mentioned, this is one of the few times that it's not Apple.

In this case it is India. Right now, the country has elected an extreme nationalist government, with an "India first" (wait... that sounds familiar) mandate. You have heavy taxes on products coming from the outside. The country's economics is in shambles, they are facing a "mega-recession" if you will. Already the country economy wasn't so hot before the pandemic, now it falls apart with a negative GDP of over ~24% (projected) by the end of the year. Also, in India, you have a large gap between rich and poor. While you have a growing middle class (well, before the current economic situation), you had a lot of ultra-poor and ultra-rich people.

 

So of course, luxury products, and product coming from the outside will cost a fortune.

 

Brazil has this same problem; you can look at gaming consoles. A game consoles cost ~650% over US pricing. This is because of the government there putting taxes on imports. The product must be made in the country to not suffer such tax.

 

 

It is not possible to react both funny and agree on the forums

I don’t know much about Modi

Then you my friend need to know only one thing : Ya know trump right ? Modi likes trump





PS : It is funny how, after DJT was *finger quote* Elected *finger quote end*, almost everyone in the world now has a new scale to measure their political leaders. Everyone's got a really nice scale now to measure their political parties :

Is your leader bad, Is he dumb, Is he stupid, but does his word still make you worry ! Are you still afraid of some of his words ? 

Then you have got yourself a *Insert appropriate leader name*
 

Is your political leader broke, corrupt ? Did he inherit a fortune and then broke ? Does he have a Gold Toilet ? Does he only eat Hamburgers and Fries ? Did he pay money to have sex with a pr0nstar ?
 

Then you have got yourself a *Insert name*
