Yeah in Ireland we get robbed by the Tax Man.

We pay VAT @ 21% and then they have a special "Vehicle Registration Tax" which can be anything up to 30%, and which is charged on the VAT inclusive price.

I have been waiting untill the 08 changes came out before I place my order for a 3.0sd M Pack. I was with the dealer during the week and I built one with a lot of options. The total came to around 122K (Euro).

That is made up as follows;

1) Base Price: 73,500 Euro
2) VAT 15,500 Euro
3) V.R.T 33,500 Euro
