That's something I never understood, just glad we seem to have it alright in North America.Glad I can be of help.
Aussie prices are hard for me to grasp. Cars cost so much more in Australia.
I also think that they have specific taxes or tariffs for luxury vehicles as opposed to others. So Audis are especially extra expensive as opposed to a Chevy or something.That's something I never understood, just glad we seem to have it alright in North America.
I didn't realize that this was so common place. I knew that China and Australia had much higher vehicle prices, but I figured everywhere else was just in proportion to their currency and average income. Is there a particular reason why Canada and the US don't have this tax? Is it just because the Americans hate taxes?Just about EVERY country other than Canada and the US charge an extra luxury tax on imported cars - even from Japan - that make them MUCH more expensive than anything built in the host country. This is why brands are so inexepensive here - any most of us don't even realize it. An Audi costs a German about 35% more than the same model costs an American - and 21% of it is a sort of VAT that acts like a Federal Excise tax that we don't have -
That's why I like being in NA, just have to pay to play, where in other parts of the world although you may have the pay to play there are still many road blocks in your way.
