how much to buy a truck?

[gmb79819]

Ok, let's say I move to Dnepropetrovsk, I will need a truck. How much to buy a Dodge/Ford/Chevy pickup new? How much monthly to rent a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment? Power utilities costs/month?

Thanks,
Red

I will be waiting to hear replys to this one. I have never been to the Ukraine so I am just guessing, but I doubt that you can by a new Ford or Chevy pickup in the Ukraine. If you can it probably will cost a fortune because so few people could aford one that to me it would be to costly to import.

Good 1 bedroom flat (with everything you need) will cost about $500-600 per month.

It is possible to buy any new car in Ukraine.
For example here are the prices for Mondeo:

Mondeo 1.8 Trend 4 Door ABS, A/C, SIDE AIRBAG, Metallic Paint ┬: 19, 759.20
Mondeo 1.8 Trend 4 Door ABS, A/C, SIDE AIRBAG, Allow Wheels,Metallic Paint ┬: 20, 564.50
Mondeo 2.0 Ghia 4 Door ABS, AAC, SIDE AIRBAG+CURTANS, Heated Windshield/Heated Jets, XENON LAMPS+JET WASHER, IVD+ TC, Heated Seats, RADIO 6006, SPEED CNTRL, metallic paint ┬: 24, 805.70
Mondeo 2.0 Ghia 4 Door ABS,AAC,SIDE AIRBAG+CURTANS, Heated Windshield, EBA, metallic paint ┬: 21, 986.06
Mondeo 2.0 Ghia 4 Door, Auto Transmission, SIDE AIRBAG+CURTANS, Heated Windshield/Heated Jets, EBA, XENON LAMPS+JET WASHER, SPEED CNTRL, Heated Seats, RADIO 6006, Metallic Paint ┬: 27, 174.35
Mondeo 2.5 Ghia 4 Door ABS, AAC, SIDE AIRBAG+CURTANS, Heated Windshield/Heated Jets, EBA, IVD+TC, XENON LAMPS+JET WASHER, RADIO 6006, SPEED CNTRL, Heated Seats, Metallic Paint ┬: 30, 739.75

I'm not that good in cars, but you can have an idea what are the prices in Ukraine. Here is the URL of Ford in Ukraine: http://www.ford.com.ua/

Maybe you can find out what is what and how much is it.

thank you for the info...i need to double check on a couple things:

where you mentioned the price for the Mondeo 1.8 Trend 4-door... 19,759.20 ...now, is that in grivnas or US$?

you say a flat+expenses = $500-600, and i understand that to be in US$?

i heard the average annual ukrainian salary is 533 grivnas, is that right?

Your not a Ukrainian..you get the times ten factor placed on you..SVITLANA... Is this not so.. I was told you can rent a nice flat for 40 or 50 bucks.. So what's the story.. is the times ten factor true.. I also heard you can get around it by getting a ukrainian buddy to do the dealing for you... speak to me..And what is a Mondeo.. can you get something like a n american small pickup.

ok, I'm not Ukrainian for residence purposes, maybe that explains it. If the average monthly income for a UKR resident is 100 $US, how do they cover the rent? And like midwaydave said, could I hire a UKR agent to rent the apartment for me?

=) Svitlana, thanks, the Mondeo looks fine, it'll work. I would like to know if the 20,000 is in US$ or grivnas, can you check on that for me? Now if I could just get my hands on one of those trick little military trucks. They're totally kick arse.

I see I made an error, as far as I know, the monthly income is 100 USD (533 grivnas). So I was interested in knowing how rent of 500-600 USD is paid on that income. I've heard the 50-60 USD (267 grivnas) monthly rent numbers.
