Best not to look sometimes

Cars were cheaper in the USA before the recession and most probably still cheaper by the same magin. There is no correlation and how can the Tories be responsilble for retail car prices?
BTW the Labour party brought in new car registration tax.

They don't have 20% vat in USA like we do.  2013 RR Evoque Pure Tech

You want to try looking at the prices in Australia then. That might make you feel better

We get slugged to cover some serious import taxes I believe and then there is the luxury car tax for the more expensive cars, which I am pretty sure most Land Rovers will be considered. And as far as I can tell, the only real reason behind these extra charges is so that the crap Australian built cars can be made to look like better value.  1st time FL2 owner. 2007 SE i6 in Tambora Flame.

Some differences, but It highlights Rip Off Britain. Don't you just love living here!

I need a break

Our new GBP£2m medical centre opened to patients 90 mins ago. Now up to my eyeballs in IT Techies trying to get our new digital Xray to feed the pictures direct to the monitors in the Doctors consulting rooms. They've been trying since Saturday morning (first time they said - no problem - minor glitch) but every try since results in the "Patient Confidentiality Firewall" denying the picture data access to Katharina's monitors. So as she's now threatening to take a scapel to their collective genitalia, I've beaten a hasty retreat before she points the scalep at me

So time for a quick cup (thank goodness the staff lounge is fully functional) to take a quick look-in and share with you something else that's "wrong" in these mountains - FL2 prices on this mornings FX CHF/GBP£.

Here's a real Swiss rip off - all HSE models:
TD4 Manual £41,000
TD4 Auto £43,000
SD4 Auto £44,200
3.2 i6 Auto £44,700

So stop moaning about your cheap FL2's in Britain.

I don't see why people living in one country look at anothers and compare prices, though Althelstan did live here so has something to compare, spec levels are diffent, taxes and everything else need to be factored in too, though it does annoy you when you read a car made in the UK is cheaper in the US, even after shipping it across.

Oh well, guess they have more money spare to pay their medical bills when some wanabee gangster shoots them and steals their car and they need to pay for the medical care, instead of the NHS which we pay towards

Athelstan,
Glad to hear the new centre is up and running, will try and get over to see you at the end of August.
Mr MM wants to know if you need a consultant radiologist!?
All the best to Katharina and Rowena too.
Sorry for hijacking the thread!
MM

... and my wife asks if you require a radiographer and PACS administrator?

Again, sorry for the hijacked thread!!

AiiEEX,
I was a radiographer before I trained as a vet... perhaps we should change this thread to "staff volunteering for Mrs Athelstan's Swiss Clinic"

I am reading this and hoping it was one of our X-ray products that they purchased although maybe not as they work

True.
I love random off topic threads
