The thing is, a X5 is much cheaper in US, than in Germany, the marked is so much bigger, so one can really pick the "one", if you know what i mean?

Btw, Denmark and Norway have very similar, or shall i say, dumb taxes, so a SUV are suffering heavy because of this.
In Sweden, cars cost half of what it does on Norway and Denmark.

I don't know how it is in Norway - but if I understand it right about importing cars to Denmark you get quoted an estimated worth of the car when registrering it, and then you are taxed the 180%, or however much it is, on that amount. Don't know if it is done the same in Norway - but it might be something to look into. Then again - I could be mistaken in everything i say ... listening to me is a little like gambling I supose

Funny side note - because the taxes are so high in Denmark, the dealers sell the cars at very cheap base prices to compensate (a little) for the Tax. That means it is cheaper for, say a German, to buy a car in Denmark and take it to Germany, than to buy it in Germany. Since they dont have the same luxury taxation-nonsense, and since they don't pay the tax for registrering it in Denmark they end up saving money.

No-one imports to Ireland, the amount of import tax you pay is not based on what you paid for the car abroad, its based on what Irish customs and excise say you should have paid.

Hmm..I wonder if its the same here in England..I am putting my X on the AutoTrader today or tomorrow, but I have to get a tax assesment from the DVLA here..Unfortunately, the car has to be sold within 30 days of getting the assesment, but Im not sure what (which) price it will be based on..

See the way the Irish system works here.
99.99% of people use this for 2nd hand cars,
almost never for newer.
You quote the make model year and mileage of your vehicle,
and they say what you should have paid for it.
Try it out and see.
