the SD tax which is 90% now......(and which is based on the car's engine)...used to be 150% b4 i believe.......I don't know what the other taxes are for....so didn't count them when i was calculating for the price of the SL65 AMG....if all the taxes are applicable and are added together, then the total tax rate goes over 140%........so u r right i guess.
I believe the car then cost over 3 crore. :help:
