Why are Subarus so expensive in Germany? Is it 19% VAT. + 10% import duty? Or do you simply take what is to be taken with you on the part of the importer??? I would like to buy such a part, but why for example the current Forester, or even the Legacy at almost or at least 30000 euros (with contemporary equipment). That’s 50000 Canadian dollars, or (at the same time) almost 50000 US dollars, and just as many Australian dollars (and there are cars actually otherwise always expensive than in Good Old Germany). I mean, converted mentioned models there always around 20000 Euro! Inclusive tax and approval and guarantee!!!?! The financing conditions in Übersee are still another better… if you have need. And: The (2009er) Forester there is ONLY from 2.5l boxer, the 2.0 seems to be a European skim mix solution. At – as mentioned above – 50 percent higher price… same applies to Legacy (=Liberty), and even to Impreza. Anders said, for the friends of the hot little one: For the price of a 1.5R Impreza there is (almost) the WRX elsewhere. Is this marketing? Or has the Eurostaerke in Friedberg not arrived yet!>!>!>!>!>!!!! Really a pity.
