Probably would not be able to afford getting one here in JA, our duty structure is so high and based on engine size.

You guys would not believe how much the Macan S vs the Base Costs out here!! Approx. $US170K and $US100K respectively - so unfair.

At least you have a good gap between models - in Singapore the base starts are SG$260k and the S at SG$300k, that's before you add on the 'permit for use' which is several thousand dollars and expires after 10 years

Where is JA? I don't recognise the abbreviation. Somewhere that uses the US$ obviously.

Years ago a base Macan started at £120,000 but now it is £141,000.

JA?

No country on the list I looked at has the JA abbreviation, Japan is JP and Jamaica is JM

From Wikipaedia.. "Colloquially, Jamaicans refer to their home island as the "Rock". Slang names such as "Jamrock", "Jamdown" ("Jamdung" in Jamaican Patois), or briefly "Ja", have derived from this."
