Ah yes the tax....

Yeah luxury car tax, importing and a whole bunch of other stuff, it all adds up when us australians get the fancy cars over here that makes them more expensive then other places in the world

About 5 mins ago, I saw this on TV and was about to post it. And we do have a tax on luxuary cars (which this falls under)

470 000 AU$ ≈ 370 000 US$ ... but indeed it seems still way too much, that car is listed at 181 000 € here in Belgium (≈ 253 000 US$)
Or maybe there are some high taxes on such car?

That price in the article seems to be double what the car actually costs. There's no way in hell its over $400,000. That would be the worst $400,000 anybody has ever spent. It is very unattractive in my honest opinion.

Only the second new Ferrari California in Oz, and in my remote state of WA no less, and already is it impounded.
What a moron
