If you have extra money and don't know what to do with it, come and buy camaro from Finland..

I bought my Camaro SS year ago, it was driven then 3700 miles and it's registered 2012.
Price was 70.000€ = 96.227 $

New 2013 SS cost 74.000€ = 101.724 $

And 2013 ZL1 convertible is 151.900 € = 208.808 $

Thanks to Finnish taxing..

God damn! We complain about a 6.25% sales tax in Massachusetts. My new '13 SS was $28,000 after all discounts.

Are all cars taxed at such a high rate there, or is it because the Camaro comes from North America?

All cars are taxed really good. Of course newest are taxed more then older ones. Example if I wanna import car from US, I pay car price + VAT + car tax, that could be 0-50% of cars price. custom makes the final decision about the car tax.

2 years ago I bought '06 mustang gt from sweden, it cost there 20000€ = 27000$ and when I bring it back to Finland, the tax was 9700€ = 13.000$

And another example, this week I went finnish mercedes-benz website and built brand new S63 AMG L 4Matic with all equipment you can get. Wanna guess the price?
Taxless price was 266.660€ = 366.799$, tax is 178.500€ = 245.488 $, so total is 445160€ = little over 600.000$
Sick, isn't it?

That is quite insane. Makes me appreciate living in a country where an "ordinary" person can afford an extraordinary car...
