HOW MUCH DOES A CAR COST IN TURKEY?

[@zaferyumak9766]

When you consider the minimum wage, the price gap actually becomes even more ridiculous. For that BMW for example, a Turkish person has to save for over 100 months of minimum wage salary without spending anything. In UK it would be about 10 months. So the price isn't 4 times more in Turkey, actually its 10 times more.

[@mickandtrudie]

That’s very true

Wow, very expensive, didn't realise they were quite that much. Used cars in the UK have increased in value due to lack of new cars coming onto the market this year/last year.

[@sercan272727]

I dont think any country beats car prices when it comes to car prices, there is 200-225%+ tax on cars which is unheard of in any decent country , especially in comparison to wages... the cheapest cars ( tofas sahin, and tofas dogan) from 1990s ( its miracle that those are still in one piece ) can cost like 20-30 months of basic wage. As far as brand new cars dont think there is anything less than 150k in liras, which is 5-6 years worth of basic wage.

[@superioritymelee]

Even the cheapest costs more than $2000 if it is still working. Hell, 25 year old cars are sold for like $5000 or so, lemme remind you that I'm talking about cars that you could get for free in Europe or US or no more than $500.

I like these price comparisons. I used to live in Thailand and cars there are similar price to Turkey, but insurance is very cheap and the cost of repairs and servicing is literally a tenth of the UK price. Also depreciation is much less in Thailand. So simple comparisons on just the purchase price do not accurately reflect the actual cost of ownership very well. Having said that, UK and US are the cheapest places in the world for cars.

[@mickandtrudie]

Yes you’re right and the fuel price is a lot less in Turkey too

The import tax is 80-220% depending on the car 🚘

[@karlos1060]

@@mickandtrudie Is that based on the retail price from abroad or the price Turkey asks? In other words, if you would import a car from the UK like you showed and you have a 1.6 liter engine or smaller you pay 80% based on what? The price you paid in the UK? I am wondering. Thanks for the great video! Subbed as well!

[@omercicekk]

Import or domestic manufactured. All cars have 80-200% "special taxation" before the VAT(18%). Lets say honda civic, ford focus or C class. They all have 1.6 engine, lets say cost of the car is (X+(0.8*X))* 1.18= 2.15X . In other words taxation is more than the car's price. This was just the generic car, if you happen to buy 2liter its 110%~. Real deal starts after 2liter which is usually 220% special tax and it cost around 280% of the car. So you are paying 380K$ for 100K $ car. If you convert 380.000 USD to turkish lira, result is impossible to buy.

One thing though, that BMW Z3 was actually a 2000 model. The ‘W’ in the registration being the year of registration signifier, W was from 1/3/2000 to 31/8/2000. The (7)59 is just part of the number plate, an easy mistake to make if you’re not used to the registration system. It was only on 1/9/2001 that the signifier became numbers, starting with ‘51’

Great view by a foreigner, you see the fact of being a citizen in Turkey. You can make a comparision for mobile phones, p.c. and laptops also.

Türkiye 'de vergiler o kadar yüksek ki insanlar bırakın araba alıp araba sürmeyi motor bile alamıyor artık benzine gelen zamlar vergiler bitmek bilmeyen zamlar bıktırdı insanları Türkiye 'den

Thank you, Mick and Trudie. I am interested to know what are some good clothing and shoe brands there in Turkey especially the ones we can buy online with a reliable website and international shipping. Since Trudie likes shopping as well she might have a better idea :).

[@mickandtrudie]

I don’t know brands other than Beyman, I’ll ask my daughters

[@dailybls]

Mavi, Mudo, Yargici, Machka, for starters. Especially Mavi, good international brand, originally Turkish, casual, mostly young, good for jeans.

Cars are already expensive, they put 2-3 times tax on it. The government earns more than it produces. Although the average salary in Turkey is 5000 TL, everyone has more than 200.000 TL vehicles because it has become normal now. Average search on roads. The price is around 400.000TL, that is 35.000 Pounds.

[@akhilpadamata1438]

Can you please tell me how much can a person maximum earn in Istanbul

[@ata5033]

@@akhilpadamata1438 The minimum wage is 2850 TL, that is, 320 dollars. 40% of the population receives this salary. Generally unskilled work. Waitress, cleaner, security person, store sales assistant and many such jobs. If it is a top office in a workplace, that is, people such as marketing manager, sales manager can get an average of 7000TL, while a quality brand can cost more than 15000TL. The salaries of those working in the state are also generally low, but the pension can be almost as much as the salary they receive. Doing your own business is both the most profitable and the most harmful. Getting started is important because it is very difficult. No support. But if you get the job done, you can be considered rich. There are actually a lot of rich people in Turkey, but there are also a lot of poor people. So I think if you earn a salary of more than 30.000 TL, you can live in the world at normal standards.

@@ata5033 problem is there are too much illegal immigrants in turkey now and afghans are even working for 1000 lira per month that is why salaries in private sectors are not increasing and there are illegal immigrants from all over the world in turkey now and the government is doing nothing about it

Used car prices in the UK are very cheap compared to many other countries. Theres also a limitless availability of them as supply far outweighs demand. They generally depreciate very very quick from their new price. Question. If I drove my own car from the UK to Turkey & lived there, would I have to pay any duty at all...or cost to re register?

[@mickandtrudie]

You can and it’s a complicated process, if you will live there permanently buy over there
