"Pay more" really isn't accurate when it comes to international prices. Although the price may be more in dollars it is geared to incomes and national economic conditions.
In Canada we can pay as much as $30K for a base model but that is due to higher average income levels not increased "prices".
A $5 sandwich in the States may cost $7 here, $9 in Europe and $2 in China even though the amount paid takes exactly the same percentage of income in each place.
Not exactly an economics expert so I may not have explained this well but gave it my best shot!
