btw nice garage..talk about convenient

Yeah ppl hardly drive these cars on the road here, our taxes are crazy , a 4.4 X5 new now is impossible to buy which is slapped with 700% tax on base invoice value; it used to be 250% on base value ! So don't bother asking me how much I paid for a used '04 X5, tell u this much I sold my 2 years old e60 530i a little over $140k :p

Dude!

Nice X, but your steering wheel is on the wrong side! What's up with THAT?





j/k


I can't believe there was an '04 with less than 15,000 miles. My '06 is already at 73,000....

haha

so any of your cricketers fancy X5 or luxury wheels(Mortaja, Ashraful etc )

Checked with my friends in india, an X3 which is manufactured in chennai India is costing around 100K US$ ..Dont know why the car is priced so much when it is made in india

the cricketers probably drive at the best Pajero's which is a $100k Mitsubishi Montero, a 4.4i X5 when sold last year with 250% customs duty was around $250k, now with the new duty structure since JUNE 2009, that segment is under 700% duty, so basically saying DONT BRING IN V8 LUXURY cars lol .... wish we could assemble BMW's here so we could buy them under $200k so from now only BMW's up to 2000 CC will sell , a E60 520i with fairly decent options is now $140k

btw major off topic Ashraful hangs out with some of my employee's , decent kid, drives a Corolla, FYI
