[QUOTE="Baseline, post: 925989, member: 14307"] It is unfortunately not quite so simple a calculation for us here in SA. The Rand / Dollar exchange throws things way out of kilter and to that you have to add shipping, import duties and local dealer markups. The price abroad ranges from $16,000 for the 802 original series and goes up to $22,000 for the 802 D3. When you take those figures into consideration along with the average earnings in Dollars of folk abroad, the disparity between input cost and retail price does not appear quite as drastic. As always, you are paying a premium for a top end product name like Mercedes, Porsche etc. [/QUOTE]
