Hmm. just to clarify.
it is S$60k IF you buy it in Canada. S$60k there can get you a BMW 320 series or Merc C 200.
In singapore in 2001 prices, that model was selling for $140k if i am not wrong.
It is only parallel imported. I know there are some.
But i heard after few imports it actually did not meet emission requirements and thus imports no longer allow. HOWEVER i dunno how true this fact is.
It is just like the Toyota Tercel, a japanese made Vios-level car. It could have been sold in singapore from 10 plus years ago, but it can't meet emission requirements.
