Luxury Cars

What I don't really understand is how people can spend so much money for a luxury car. I mean, there is - by law - a 400 percent luxury tax. I have seen here some very expensive cars, like maserati, mercedes benz, vw beatle. You must be crazy to pay four times more than in us or europe.

But I am also wondering about cars like many other people are driving, like the toyotas. I payed nearly 1300 Dollar for a motorbike, a 12 year old small korean car is about 1800 dollar. So how the hell are cambodians able to pay for a lexus or a camry? the earn normally 300 Dollar a month..Any suggestions?

What and how rich or powerful people can afford those luxury cars is common on sight, but in the name of poor and stupid people, I wish all those luxury cars owners should start reducing 1 hour a day not to start their car engines - not drive. By doing so, they will help survive our planet-reducing CO2 Emission, cos in the next 30 to 30 decades (2050-2100), the world will be burnt...how all of us, plants and animals live?...From the stupid countryman - Toma

hahahah!! Usually, Cambodian people didn't have only one work like Europe. They don't care about Luxury cars or whatever. I mean, If they are rich, they will buy luxury product to comfort their lifestyle. I paid around $3000 for a motor cuz my earning salary give me only this, but M happy since it is my lifestyle. $300 is just according to GDP but actually we earn more than that. For me I earn more than $5000 per month by doing 2 works. Don't be so curios about this matter.
