That car probably costs like $500,000 in Singapore.
The actual cost of the car itself should be more or less in the ball park as the U.S or Germany but the fees and taxes there are ridiculous. . A cab driver there once told me they try to limit the number of cars in the tiny city-state, so you need to pay some ridiculous amount to have a permit to keep the car for 10 years.

The permit to own a car called a certificate of entitlement will set you back alproxiapprox USD70K and the vehicle will set you back around USD420K.
So yeah, owning a Prius basically is the cost price of my RS4 back in Australia. :lol: USD145K for a Prius is messed up. So I'm glad I've moved back but I'm counting the years before my M2's days are up.

Pretty close but with the COE. Running cost sucks just as much at 2.4/L ... If you're living in Singapore, it's cheao to spend $50/day on cabs for 15-20 years than to buy a car. :lol:
No worries... I'll post a couple more photos soon or when it's at the detailers. Sending the vehicle off for paint correction, ceramic coating and ppf installation on the front.
Getting it lowered on Saturday and hopefully will have my wheels arrive from Germany by mid March.

Just picked her up this morning from having Feynlab Self Heal Lite ceramic coating done. Here are a few quick shots. Hopefully I can find a good location to take decent photos.
Ordered a front plate filler, but I'm getting conflicting part numbers. Since it's a 2019, one dealer told me it's part # 8W6-807-287-B-RU6, however another is saying 8W6-807-287-B-RN4. I went with one ending in RU6 as he said RN4 has chrome bits and 2018 didn't have black optics. RU6 was ordered from Germany so I hope it's correct.
I really like that color, as well as the black optics package. Only thing that frustrates me is how Audi always includes summer tires on any black optic type package. I just don’t have the space to store an extra set of wheels/tires in my condo, and obviously summer tires won’t fly in Chicago. I wish they had an all-season option on those packages.

That’s a relatively small problem though, as you can buy and sell a set of slightly used tires on Kijiji and this is a pretty common size. You guys don’t use winter tires much in Chicago?

I was thinking if you had a car like that in Singapore you must be one of those Crazy Rich Asians but I guess you had to settle for a $145k Prius. I think I would just take the bus.

I would definitely need a set of winter tires in Chicago, assuming the car comes with summer ones. My A5 coupe came with all seasons, so not a big concern at the moment. I’m just surprised how many cars on the dealer lots here have summer tires only.
