I’m not sure how VAT equivocates to tax tag and title here in the US, but for $35,000 car it should still be less than $1000. I pay a bit less than the average person because I’m Native and I go through my tribe instead of the state I live in, but I don’t think the rate I get is less than like half the state rate. A few years ago the same car would’ve been in the $29,000 range. At the time we got the car things were so crazy in the used market that it actually was about $100 less per month for us to get the new car then to get a four year-old used car of the same model.
Thank you, we got a Mazda CX-50. It’s a lot nicer than my 2004 Chrysler Sebring was with 280k miles (~450600km)! I’m not the primary driver so as long as my wife is happy with it I’m happy.
Hopefully wages will start reflecting prices someday.
VAT is a sales tax, and traditionally prices in USA are stated without that, sales tax in USA is local to the state you are in.
Companies deduct sales tax, so for them it’s irrelevant except of course for their sales.
The new electric Mazda models we get here are mostly made in China, but being in USA, I bet yours isn’t.
I like Mazda and have had a couple many years ago.
