This is your highest variable cost. Flats are cheaper in Poland also this is your highest fixed cost. How often do you buy a laptop or phone? Clothes it depends and can be argued either way, and petrol, if more in Poland, but since trams and buses are everywhere, I do not need a car, in the USA you need a car. But for basic living food, clothes and renting a place, it is cheaper in Poland as well as Medical care. For buying computers it is the same price or slightly more.

The rest of the staff is more expensive in Poland... petrol, phones, laptops, clothes (it isn´t correct compare a 8USD t-shirt in USA with a Auchan T-shirt, it is like compare apples and strawberries), glasses... If you are earning 500USD in Poland and 2000USD in USA for the same job, where is higher the level of life? The prices in Poland are much higher than USA, there are an exception that is the food.

But if you go to Germany and buy it direct, I am skeptical, it would not make sense that you can buy something cheaper in the states then a German car, made in Germany direct. I can buy a brand new Fiat for 7,000 usd and this is for European roads. In the States a new car is more. But your right on high end cars, it is better to bring it in.

I think Poles are very good in the market and finding bargins. It also depends on the dollar. If the dollar continues to tank ten they will be cheaper in Poland. But these are US items not strickly Chinese so it is generally cheaper in the USA regardless of currency price swings.
