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. |
