Do You Know Why Car Is Expensive In Germany Than US? by maryamsat: 12:43am On Dec 30, 2018
I live in Germany and compared prices between USA and Germany. Turns out cars are way cheaper overseas , e.g 911 turbo starts at 140k in Germany , whereas it starts at about 94k in USA. Do you want to know the reason behind this?

Here are the conversations between different people from different countries reported on reddit forum as thus:

psycho_coconut is a US based member reported that That stuff can all be negotiated in the US to an extent (except tax) but regardless it does bring the cost up.
Depending on what state the car buyer lives in they can see a sales tax of ~%6 — ~%11.5 which translates to somewhere between about 5-12K. Just in taxes.

Taxes
High competition
Larger market

Those are the reasons
United States economy is very large and the consumption is enormous too
This translates to cheaper prices
