Why are car prices so retarded in Europe? I've read a lot of excuses about regulations, mandatory features and taxes, but compare the same exact car:Suzuki Swift in Japan: 1.72M JPY = 10400€ Suzuki Swift in Spain: 18800€(source: https://www.suzuki.co.jp/car/swift/ and https://auto.suzuki.es/precios)Even the most basic shitboxes now cost almost 20k, meanwhile in the rest of the world they sell for regular prices. Why?

>>27593398Europe is a communist country.
>>27593408Europe is capitalist
>just converting your currency which is stronger and show why things should be absurdly cheap in your country just because>ignores tariffs, shipping, labour costs, warrantiesi love EU cucks crying about tech products and wonder why they get shafted while also bragging about getting a refund 3 years later on a laptop
>>27593408I wish
>>27593398Kia Picanto is cheapest, it costs less than 15k€
Mitsubishi space star and Hyundai i10 costs also around 18k€, so there are cars for less than 20k€. But those times when you could buy new dacia for less than 10k€ are gone.
Manufacturers are currently being chucked by China backed brands (European brand are also backed by their own governments in different ways) by selling their EVs at very small margins.Can't wait to see Von Cunten piss and cry when they all collapse.
At least your not a kike anon, our car market is among the worst in the world.In pic: Polo GTI, around 50k euro
>>27593398A Swift is 16k euromarks in Hungary. In the case of Hungary, I suspect that 27% VAT and needing to ship the car from Japan account for a significant portion of the price difference. You can get a locally made Vitara for like 18k.
>>27593408sadly not
taxes are included in the price
>>27593408I fucking wish.
>>27593408marx was right
>>27593475>ship the car from Japanyou literally build them on your home ground
the Swift is 6700 euros in India
>>27593398This don't seem to bad to mehttps://www.raychapmanmotors.co.uk/new-cars/new-volvo-ex30/
>>27593612Not same car as in europe
>>27593606I mentioned that the Vitara is locally produced. You think I wouldn't know if the Swift were also made in my figurative backyard?
>>27593626It's the previous gen the new model will cost about the same ~6.5 lakh
>>27593398>what is VAT
>>27593398Are they the exact same car? The Swift in Japan might have only half the features of the Spanish version.
>>27593836They mostly sell all wheel drive models in europe
>>27593398a simple answer would be cause people keep buying thembut manufacturers extended the "JIT model" to customers, so they keep their margins high and you wait months for a new car
>>27593398>Why?jews
>>27593398>What are import taxes and feesretard
>>27594231>What are import taxes and feesTheft.
>>27594231Comparable/worse European-made cars like Dacia or Skoda also have similar prices.
European “safety” and emissions mandates are driving prices through the roof. All those fancy nannying “aids” like automatic braking and DPFs make cars much more expensive than they otherwise would be. The WEF/UN socialist technocrats, backed by the EU want the end of private motorised transport. Soon they will also come for bicycles and there is already talk of requiring bikes to be registered baka
Import+tax
Not my problem really. The previous owners have already paid these and the repairs. I just drive repaired cars. Good as new.
