It's amazing how car prices vary around the world with taxation. Especially taking into account the purchasing power parity. The cheapest cars in US are sold as entry-level luxury cars in a place like India. The entry level cars in India are deemed to cheap to be even considered selling in the US.

For instance, a Hyundai Venue costs $20k in the US. Taking into account the PPP, an Indian has to spend nearly $80k to own the same car.

Same logic applies for phones. Your $1000 iPhone cost me nearly $4000 (again, not currency conversion but PPP).

Not everything is too bad though. App prices, books, etc are usually adjusted for PPP. Spotify Premium costs us $2/month. Books that cost $400 in the US usually cost us $5-$20.
