Farmer builds his own Lamborghini out of scrap metal.

The FAW Hongqi HQE presidential limo during the 60th anniversary parade was impressive:
It has an aluminium chassis and a V-12, easily the equal of any VIP luxury vehicle in the world.
:china:
The face of this saloon looks outdated though its body looks luxury. However, what I'm interested the most if it is gun proof and how good it is?

I missed that event! When I got the news, the event has been closed.
I haven't just sold my old car no too long ago, and now looking for a new ('new' does not mean brand-new) car. Currently, the most affordable and economic car for me would be the Toyota Camry 2002; however, I still wanna take a look at the Prius 2007. In Cambodia, when we buy car, we need to take into account such as universality, price, spare part availability, fuel consumption and yearly tax of that car. So that after using the car for a few years, you can sell it out easily and not to lose too much money; or when taking it to service, you don't have the trouble in buying spare part. Cars such as Mercedes or Audi sometime take months to order spare part from foreign countries. Something worth to mention, second-hand cars are more popular than brand-new ones in Cambodia.
Can new cars be purchased in Cambodia?
In the US most people a new car just take into consideration can they afford the monthly payments and insurance. And fuel mileage. The yearly registration fees(tax) generally are not consider nor is re-sale value as a new car loses thousands of dollars of value as soon as it is driven off the lot.
Myself, I just save up enough money and buy a used vehicle for cash.
Spare parts for any vehicle even older ones are not a problem in the US. Heck you can go to your local auto parts supplier store and purchase most anything. Or go to the dealer of your make of car. If it's not in stock he can find it the same day or order it and it's their in a day or two.

New cars are available in Cambodia and are getting more popular among users as living standard is improving. But the price of new cars are very expensive that most people can't afford or unwilling to spend that money. High price mainly due to high importing tax. An average new car in Cambodia is about twice to 3 times more expensive than that in the US!!! Brands which have a sales office in Cambodia are Toyota, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Isuzu, Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, Great Wall (made in China). Among those, Hyundai has a factory in Cambodia.
Due to living standard, a car usually covers a huge portion of an average Cambodian's total wealth, that's why usually give a lot of consideration before buying it. Brand-new spare parts are either expensive or inferior in quality (because they are made in China). Second hand spare parts are those removed from junk car which genius and cheap! however, their availability are limited to some brands only. Currently, Camry is the best selling brand in Cambodia that some people say "in Cambodia, beside Camry there is only Camry!"
