>tfw the Norwegian government literally doesn't want me to own a car so they tax them to shit and hope I'll just be a manchild forever who relies on public transportation to get around
1. Your country.
2. Does your government hate fun and easy living?

Lmao why are non brits always so silly
buy a car somewhere else...?
you don't think they thought of this?
there is an import fee to rectify any cheeky import business
Build your own then lazy git.
DK
180% registration tax on the most expensive cars ;>
So if a car costs 100k, you'd have to pay 280k
Think it got lowered recently though.
I was in Norway recently and you all drive in big new cars, in Denmark we still drive in Toyota Corallas from the 90's because we can't afford new cars due to our government.
Buy an old car?
Borrow the clan tractor.
Buy a car you can afford then. This fucking generation is so entitled
well that's what many have to do, Norway has one of the oldest car parks in yurop where the average car is 10,5 years old
graph show how old cars people are driving on agerage
old cars are less safe, and require more visits to the mechanic aka the car jew
få deg en jobb, kjop billigere bil.
You don't understand the Nordic model. Everything is taxed beyond belief.
When they lowered the registration fee in Denmark last year, their revenue from taxes actually rose from 18 billion kroners too 19 billion kroners, due to more people buying new cars, because they were more affordable.
I would never buy a brand new car, just giving people an idea what this years models cost.
also it's about the principle of the thing
I'm not memeing when I say the government doesn't want me to own a car, they even brag about reducing the amount of cars on the road
Nigga my car is 18 years old and has 200,000 miles. I can afford a better one but this thing gets me from a to b and I only have to go to the mechanic once a year for a service.
It depends on what kind of car you buy, obviously if you buy some french, italian or korean piece of shit you will be tortured with mechanic bills.
How's that socialism working for ya? Haha murica tbhwy lads.
Yes, what user is saying is true, instead of using tax money on better roads, and infrastructure etc. They decide to use our tax money on rape-fuggies. As far as i've been follow news lately too they seem to want to use less money on military too even tho Russia threatens to nuke us.
>less cars instead of better roads
>:^) Ja vi elsker Norge :^)
80,000 euros for a car in Norway would be like 5,000 euros in Spain. Why do you even complain?
>check my flag dumbfuck
>yes
>this is what spaniards actually believe
I'm okay with cars being an enthusiast object that's not accessible to every last person if there's decent public transport to rely on, unlike Murrikans who think cars are a basic right (and still can't afford them).
The problem is that politicians forget about the decent public transport part or think that public transport will flourish automatically if they just throw obstacles in the way of car ownership, which really fucking sucks.
>a norwegian replying during worktime
Well, you know what to do. Get a job and earn 100k per year.
kill yourself spoiled brat
i would do it too but we arent at that stage yet
Same here, although we actually have an excuse being one of the most densely populated countries in the world.
Not everybody lives in a city you know
What's your median salary?
I was hired on a project but they're finished, I'm literally looking for work now and have been to interviews and shit.
>100k per year
If I land this job I'm trying to get I'll earn half of that.
>a fucking passat 65k dollars
wtf is wrong with you, oilniggers
>Sweden
>Yes
Petrol is insanly expensive here and foregin truckers doesnt have to pay any tax at all (or follow swedish law)
So every company in sweden runs truucks registerd in romania or some other eastern shithole.
>50,000 per year
Isn't that the salary of a waiter?
A waiter in a restaurant will get ~35k euro
if you're single, and your salary is around 1800€
you'll have the same living and spending power as a single mother with 2 kids who doesn't work at all.
she'd earn around 1200€ from welfare and zero tax to pay, every bills would be reduced or she doesn't even have to pay them.
fuck this leftist society
1. Flagistan
2. Yes. They tax everything related to cars and driving out the ass but at the same time bitch and moan when people use cars less because their tax income drops.
>gets loads of european rupees
>still can't afford anything
abhabhaha literally hell
Netherlands
Purchasing cars is not that expensive, however we have the highest costs of petrol and roadtaxes in the EU I think.
Come home white man. Are you sure yo're on the right side of the pond? Just try to ignore the loud futurists who think everyone lives in or wants to live in a city with Asia-tier density and no cars, and that everyone should be coaxed into this lifestyle.
>yuropoors.
I'm so tired of the bus mayne.
You'd be in luck. The concept of public transportation is a myth here. You can own a v8 powered full size sedan like me and pay no additional displacement taxes!
>The Standard... ...of the World.
Except for the fact that they were rarely officially sold anywhere outside of North America, while even American upper class has since taken to buying Mercedes and other European and Japanese brands.
Enjoy your nigger appeal luxury that's an expensive version of the cutoff version of the station wagon version of a Mexican landscaper truck.
Kek, I'm not a fan of Cadillac either. I just like a lot of those old boat cars. I know they may not be that great in an objective sense, but fuck you, I like them.
>Hong Kong
Yes, and the tax rate can go up to 115% for expensive cars and they plan to +30% on it.
electric car can exempt the tax for now
They're great in no sense actually apart from an aesthetic sense (and even then most look similar) and a 'living room couch while going down straight roads' feel, and a) this only works in America because elsewhere roads are too curvy and these things offer zero side support, and b) American living room couches are also too soft. I consider our own luxury cars as both more soft -because- they're more supportive. Softness isn't the only measure for comfort (refer to the couch argument).
The only objective upside is the low rpm at cruising speed prolonging the engine life, but that's only because displacement isn't penalized and high fuel consumption is only slightly noticably penalized in the US.
Er du en Fredrikstadanon?
Typo. I consider our own luxury cars as more comfortable -because- they're more supportive.
Why would you buy a new car?
...
>miles
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Aesthetics, engine noise, and the fact that their engines usually have a lot of low end torque are admittedly the main reasons why like them. I understand what you mean with how they only work in America. I could only imagine how nightmarish it would be to navigate the battleship in my first post down the average windy European road, although there are plenty of curvy roads in Pennsylvania where I live.
Shitty car or no car at all, such choices. having even shitty one is enough but cannot figure out how much keeping them maintained and tank filled will cost
That's what you get for not handing your shekels over to the green jew.
Well did you think that 5000 monthly wage would come withouth heavy taxes?
>SUVs
Literally gold digger and soccer mom tier.
Literally Norwegian mountain climate-tier.
>modern SUVs
>mountains
They get stuck on curbs.
SUVs are literally why cars. They have 4WD which is absolutely useless on roads and their general construction is useless for off-road driving. Only middle-aged women drive these abominations.
Ayy, Tesla's went from 800.000 kroner too 1.800.000 kroner as we entered 2016, in Denmark.
There were no registration tax on electric cars until then, guess what happened. They barely sell 5 a month now.
If I don't succeed with moving to Malta this month, I'll unfortunately have to kill myself.
Just buy it in another European country you dipshit
He already told that they'll fuck him with importation tax then.
im not the guy you responded to, but the average norwegian doesn't buy an SUV for real off roading, just driving on or through snow where 2wd can fail them, and some crappy rural dirt roads.
anyway, it's sad that so many modern SUVs have low ground clearance and 4wd instead of 4x4 but those aren't the only SUVs on the market
SUVs are also handy with all the space, old women aren't the only ones who need to transport things.
Here is fucking illegal import a used car, is 0km or at least 30years of use, and the taxes are the second highest in the world, a fucking Fiat uno can coust 45,000 reais
Wow what a great idea socialism is
>SUVs are also handy with all the space, old women aren't the only ones who need to transport things.
Utility trailer, laddy. Totally enough for private usage.
>SUVs are also handy with all the space, old women aren't the only ones who need to transport things.
Station wagons have around the same transport volume.
>living in a fascist nanny state
Lmoa who would do that
I'm not exactly a stranger to trailers myself, but I'd like to drive to a cabin for example with just the car.
Station wagons work as well, but why not have extra ground clearance? It literally can't hurt.
We like SUVs because they're handy, not because we can't live without them.
He's trying to apply arguments he has learned to use against americans driving suvs and is now stumbling with a situation where his old arguments don't actually justify shitting on suvs. Happens all the time, cut him some slack.
But we've just agreed that SUVs usually don't have mentionworthy ground clearance. Unless they're archaic Land Rovers, they're basically bloated station wagons.
Buy a motorcycle?
if is an issue steal licence plates or just drive away into the woods, with a cross-bike youre invincible.
Good luck getting anywhere with that in winter time. Here's a part of the main road between our two largest cities from last winter.
>SUVs usually don't have mentionworthy ground clearance.
they have better clearance than the average sedan at least
>Buy a motorcycle?
Motorcycles aren't really much more usable than a regular bicycle since you're sitting outside in the cold and you can't really transport much more either, I see them as solely leisure vehicles.
>become Estonian E-resident
>start a company in Estonia
>buy car for your company from Estonia
>drive your car in Norway
>tell bureaucracy jews to fuck off
What could they possibly do?
Assassinate you.
Nei.
>Steal a license plate
The police have this year just implemented a new surveillience system in their cars. A camera takes a picture of every car's plate, that the policemen drive by and store it for a month. If you're using a stolen plate, or the person owning the car is wanted by the police, the policemen driving around will be notified immediately and pull the car in question over.
>be norwegian
>cry about anything at all
lol surveillance state
It's this kinda shit that keeps laws stacking up because the politicians aren't slaughtered for every single error.
I know, fuck that.
Our Minister of Justice, Soren Pind said publicly, that mass surveillance on the internet is a necessity, to ensure the safety of our country.
>be german
>earn almost as much as me
>pay probably 1/4 of what I pay for a vehicle
>doesn't even need a vehicle as much as I do
>tell me I shouldn't complain
In Finland we have some of the oldest cars in the EU thanks to retarded taxes on newer cars. What makes it even worse is the fact that if you live 40kms outside of the capital having a car is nearly mandatory.
>earn almost as much as me
fuck no
fucking Christ, but to answer your question
if you own a sports car you get taxed to death
like a porsche or ferrari
I'd love if everyone would get out so these crappy countries collapse.
>not buying an old 80s-90s japanese car
if i lived in the first world i'd do that
Only suitable in countries that drive on the left though. I know some Polynesian country switched to driving on the left for this purpose recently.
They're everywhere here твн
>driving on the "right"
more like wrong
what?
I dont mean FROM japan, toyota or nissan probably exported some cars to the west with the driving in the right place
I see. But I know it's popular in countries that drive on the left to import used Japanese cars. Due to laws in Japan regarding cars older than 6 years or something, they often export them and sell them for fairly cheap.
Cars from japanese companies but not JDM are garbage as fuck during 90's mate
btw is it against the law to have a car with driving on the wrong side
Yes and your nations are the best in the world for standard of living.
I wouldn't complain too much.
>best standard of living on paper
>in reality you can't even have muh gun and muh truck unless you're King Midas
Depends on legislation, but it's not illegal in Sweden. Most of the countries where importing used Japanese cars are common drive on the left.
American vehicles since 2009 are better than anything Japan makes or made.
Also, the fuel savings, new car feel, and lower insurance cost will make up for any gain you can get on most used cars.
