lemans,
yes it is a handsome amount when one US dollar is equivalent to 40 indian rupees. hence, 175k is about 7.2 million rupees, or 72 "lakhs" for short (one lakh = 100,000 rupees)
i have my own nightclub, restaurant. i also am into retail and manufacturing of furniture. real estate speculation is also a hobby and no market is better than delhi!
i only wish i owned a car when I was in university in america. i didn't bother getting one because of all the hassles.
imported cars, like the x5, are getting a lot more common here. people have more disposable income and want to splurge on the latest exotics.
till date i have seen an enzo (which is for about 600/700 lakhs = 1.5 million usd - 1.75 million), numerous gallardos (450k), bentleys ( 500k ish), 7ers/s class ( 200k - 300k), a few range rovers (250k), f430 (600k).....basically we pay 112% import duty plus a whole load of other crap which makes these cars frightfully expensive to own and run....and after paying all that, you would think we can drive here! no! our roads are crap personified! pot holes and all. cows, rickshaws, cyclists etc..
i wish the indian government reduced the import duties...i love cars and want to buy some sports cars! |
