My friend George lives in Saudi for work he has just bought a new HONDA Accord 3.0l V6 for £ 8900 in jeddah.
The same car is £26,000 in the UK and 1.75 m baht in Thailand which is about £27,000 . Even allowing for the fact that Saudi has no purchase Tax or heavy customs duty the difference in price is unbelievable the UK puts 10% import duty and 17.5%VAT but that does not explain the massive price difference .
He says the same differentials apply to bikes as well.,
Some body is getting ripped off here and it aint the Saudis
