except germany

cause they dont tax their cars as heavily

Well, I'm coming from an American perspective where most cars have a single engine choice

Our trucks though, they have tons of configurations

I.e. The Silverado.

Thats got two different sub models this year; the new model and last year's.

There's 7 engine choices between the two of them

the thing here is that a lot of places have emissions taxes or an equivalent

which obv. also isnt the same everywhere

e.g. here in austria i would pay 35k for a gt86

in germany 30k

and obv. in the us its 23k or w/e

Yeah, California was that was for us, until the auto manufacturers started producing everything to their standards, so it was the same everywhere.

That Tourareg was the last one that wasn't iirc

It was available in only 45 states

@woll3 what if you bought it in germany and imported it yourself

heh

they thought about that obv. and i gotta pay the emission tax after the import

how long does that apply for

like could you buy an old 80s car in germany and bring it on

in

thats not an issue

its only on first time registering

ah

so second hand cars aren't an issue

yep

prices (for used cars)are mostly similar to the neighbouring countries due to that

so the solution would be to make a friend in germany, buy the car and register with him but immediately take it across

a new car that instantly becomes second hand

Gotta make friend with them military guys who will import a car for you if they haven't already

Free imports on Americas dime

there's an interesting point actually

so

in the uk we habe VAT

which is basically 20% tax on like everything

if you're an American travelling you can claim VAT back

I wonder if a visiting american could claim back car vat on a new car

having sold the car

Most likely

or maybe cars are vat exempt

well, the law has a passage for just that

so if they find out they will fuck you for tax evasion

Who's taxes? Lol

The austrian states taxes
