Range Rover Evoque prices: UK vs Malaysia

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Recently met an old friend after 18 long years. We were university mates and both of us ended up in the UK in quite different occupations. However, despite being only about 100 miles apart we were unable to meet up because of something or the other.<br /><br />It was quite ironic that we finally met up in Malaysia, around 9000 miles away from the UK. Anyway, we got to talking about cars like car lovers usually do and the cars we drive. My friend recently bought the Ranger Rover Evoque, which coincidentally also happens to be my dream car.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizS0yKJCSbrFCp-Qa0hYY4r6Mrm4UVdJb8TqnklW-CyNEo5eg2_g44KlMYdN3P7Sh0K7YG3X365q2eExlU1Y77Cs1cDyS2cwtms5t825kl-gEsN3mm4G4qyrtVsC4_O_2lmWUJ1wQv0B3Y/s1600/2015_Land_Rover_Range_Rover_Evoque.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizS0yKJCSbrFCp-Qa0hYY4r6Mrm4UVdJb8TqnklW-CyNEo5eg2_g44KlMYdN3P7Sh0K7YG3X365q2eExlU1Y77Cs1cDyS2cwtms5t825kl-gEsN3mm4G4qyrtVsC4_O_2lmWUJ1wQv0B3Y/s400/2015_Land_Rover_Range_Rover_Evoque.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">We were discussing car prices and how the Evoque is quite out of my league with prices starting at <span style="line-height: 24px;">RM413,888 (without insurance).  Source: <a href="http://paultan.org/2015/04/08/land-rover-gst-prices-malaysia/" target="_blank">Paul Tan</a>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">My friend was visibly shocked as the cost in the UK was around £30K (OTR). That's considered quite a handsome even for a luxury brand. However, it translates to about RM180K at the current exchange rates, which means that we are paying more than double the price of the Evoque here in Malaysia as compared to the UK. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">With that amount, I can buy a 2-sty Terrace/Link House 3 bedroom house near my office in Semenyih, Selangor. So literally the <span style="text-align: left;">Ranger Rover Evoque is a house on wheels. </span></div><h1 class="title_text" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 0px 0px 2px;"><br /></h1><br /><br /></div>
