  1. It is a general tax on all cars and it has been like that forever. The tax is 180% and then 25% consumers tax which is on all things you buy. I heard a rumour that the Veyron is something like £3,150,000. At the moment electric cars are tax-free but that is probably going to change as soon as the government sees the money opportunity.
  2. No, I would have to pay the taxes to get a license plate on the car and I am not allowed as a danish citizen to drive in a car with foreign license plates in Denmark. :(
  3. DAMN, I envy you guys, the car taxes in Denmark makes cars like this completely out of reach for a normal employee (chemical engineer in my case). £38,950 I can almost pull directly out of my pockets BUT I checked the used car market and found only 1 used IS-F for sale in Denmark. Apr '08, 20000 miles and the price tag is £133,750 .... :shutit: But of course a lot cheaper than the price of a new IS-F £182,500
  4. I have no idea how much the Veyron costs. But I can find the price for a 911 Turbo: £306K I would gues the lady working the cash register in the supermarket earns £1200 after taxes (that is the minimum wage in Denmark) and a newly graduated master of science chemical engineer would get £1600 after taxes. But we have a very progressive tax system so I am paying ~70% tax on every extra £ I am getting extra now and I am only a chemical engineer with 9 years of experience but still I am in the high income tax range. :(
  5. Well, the car has been officially priced in Denmark now. Hold on everybody the price for the IS-F standard is: £152K I think I have to settle for the IS250 Aut. Sport MM which is "only" £77K :shutit: I just love the danish 180% tax on cars + 25% normal consumers tax. :tsktsk:
  6. I have the same problem on mine but I don't know if it is normal when the auto choke is on. Can't remember if it was like that to begin with. Would like to know if you/they find a problem with the car.
  7. I have never noticed this but I would say it sounds normal from a logical point of view. When the car is cold there is less lubrication in the engine and thereby higher friction making the pistons or whatever slow down faster. Sorry, I am not a mechanic but I was just thinking out loud
  8. My HU has top loaded CD unit and I have Nokia CK-7W. Mutes fine and sound comes from speakers but I didn't install myself.
  9. Any chance Dr Bones has a brother or cousin with same skills around Denmark?
  10. Switching the traction control off does not change the behaviour of the light. I switched mine off when we had a lot of snow in Copenhagen just to see how hard it was to control the car in the snow The light was flashing all the time when I was going sideways down the streets early in the morning :P
  11. Probably it is not possible to drive it :) http://mylexus.dk
  12. Does anybody have any experience with a motor heater in the IS200? This is my first winter with the car and I would like the comfort of just getting into a heated car in the morning - should also be better for the engine. I was looking at a Webasto heater but I don't know if it is possible to fit easily in the Lexus and if it is any good. http://www.webasto.com/products/en/3115_3422.html
  13. Could also be a neighbour in Japan - Honda S2000 ? :)
  14. A lot of pictures have been released from Detroit Auto Show, it was revealed 3 days ago (on January 8). http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/2007-De...-Show-50/page1/ And there are some specs here: http://www.lexus.com/fcv/is_f.html?_ocid=11302
