1 dollar US is 1150 iraqi dinars

 

[ccapehartusarmyINF.(ret)]

3500 dollars US would 420,000.00 iraqi dinar
so call it a half million iraqi dinar would be a fair price

 

[ccapehartusarmyINF.(ret)]

okay i guess im a little slow but it never even dawned on me that you were in iraq


what city u live in if you dont mind me asking? most of the time i was north east of baghdad just south of a town called fudiliyah right were the diyala river flows into the tigris river wich were some mean streets like detroit after dark well maybe not as bad as detroit

Well first let me tell you the price of this lovely machine its 14000$ ≈ 17 million Iraqi dinar
So to show you what 17 million can buy you for example 2014 Hyundai accent or small 2015 Ford car
I bought my 99 Yukon for 10K$ about 12 million IQD and just to be clear the number plate for the car worh about 3500$ alone so any car price minimize the plate number feeds
Second matter is I live in Iraq Baghdad in an area called Hayy al-mansor and if I translated into English it would be " Victorious neighborhood " the one you were deployed in is about 1.5 hour from me
And it's now very dangerous because of ISIS are very near of it

 

[07Burb]

Wow...$14k! That's pretty high compared to their value in the US

 

[GM iraqi]

How much do you buy for it if it was in the US

Yeah and I have NO idea what the conversion rate is. Just throwing that out there. You are right, though, about the price point and where it should be priced if it was here in the US. Some people will overpay in silly amounts just cuz of low miles.

 

[07Burb]

Like Chris said earlier probably in the $3500-$5000 range here in the US

 

[jerryjoe28]

I have a friend that buys SUVs here and ships them to his brother to sell over there......... makes over 13k on every one of them

 

[jerryjoe28]

he never even sees half of them just buys them and puts them in a container

 

[GM iraqi]

Like Chris said earlier probably in the $3500-$5000 range here in the US

And that amount of money for this car will be huge comparison to another one with higher mileage

 

[07Burb]

And that amount of money for this car will be huge comparison to another one with higher mileage

Yeah, it's probably just the difference in price between the two countries. Obviously, in Iraq it's an Import so probably not as many over there as there is here which will affect the price as well.

Well you are quite right
And let me tell you why
Let say for example the new Taheo 2015 model brand new is for 50K and let say that you bought one and after 3 months you had an accident and the insurance company took the car so Iraqi investor will take the car and fix it here in Iraq and to be honest with you he will maybe buy it for 25K - 30K and when it arrives here it will cost him with the repair cost total will be less then 35K and sell it for 45K at less because the cost of repairs in Iraq is much less then in US
