G37 US prices compared to GCC

I am planning to buy a g37 or a g37 coupe within the few coming months. I discovered that within my region, the costs are very high for no good reason! So I am considering buying one from the US and bringing it here; but I have been wondering whether there are differences in the specs of a g37 between US and GCC (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE,...) ??

Just to give you a rough idea about the prices here.. I called the dealer in Bahrain and I was told that a g37 coupe (with navigation and other stuff) would cost something around $64k ! Is this reasonable..?

Any suggestions??

Thanks..

Welcome to the forum!

There's many members here from that region who can tell you about pricing on Middle East Spec cars. And yes, there are major differences in available equipment between North American spec cars and Middle East spec cars.

you can buy from Dubai, UAE will cost you about $50k USD for the 2009 models (g37s coupe). they dont have 2010 here yet. the 2009 g37 sedans (NON S versions)are about $2-3k cheaper
you would be better off buying a 2009 from the US and getting it shipped or if u want the 2010.
why they cost more? good question. the only thing i can come up with is GREEDY dealers and since there is no competition as there is usually only 1 dealer we are forced to buy from them.
if you have the $$$ and dont intend to finance the car id suggest you buy from the US.
good luck

The price difference is taxes and tariffs and the value of your money. Since the US is usually the #1 car market we have much more buying power...therefore lower prices.

Importing cars isn't free. I know you can't import cars here that aren't US legal and I might assume its the same there (although we have higher crash standards)...and the cost to get/ship and make legal is going to high. I'd assume it was close to the same price as just getting one there.
