Seriously guys, who cares? What's the increase going to add to the cost of a new Prado? A few hundred dollars? If you have an issue with paying that then perhaps you should be buying used.
Hey Chris I have to ask this as it has been playing on my mind but are you the same ChrisD from DVDPlaza?
No mate..... is that good or bad :lol:
Neither Chris, just the co-incidence is there as there is a ChrisD who owns the DVDPlaza forums and he is in Adelaide.

Just to help me understand what luxury makes me wonder.
Why a car with
NO Electric Seat,
NO Built in Sat
NO Standard ESP,
NO Leather Seat
NO Wood Trim
Cost $60K, so why the luxury car tax.

"When you ask human beings they will underestimate their weight, how much alcohol they drink and how much they eat, and they'll overestimate their height and how much sex they have."
With the luxury tax kicking in at $57,123 you can not buy much of a vehicle. The level should be lifted to allow people to buy a safe vehicle. Most vehicles below this figure have poor safety features
Just watch, they will bring in a bullbar tax soon you just wait and see. They will say that it is needed to help fund the medical expenses of all those pedestrians that have been injured by them. :roll:

Just signed up for a new Prado on the weekend, GXL, D4D, Auto, white. Get it in a few weeks.
Was optioning up a bit and was arranging for the dealer to swap the Grand Treks over for Cooper ST's and whammo all of a sudden what looked like a good deal from the dealer was being buggered up by Luxury Car Tax. What a rort, 33 cents tax in every dollar over $57K.
Didn't think I was buying a luxury car!
I'm sure the dealers aren't selling too many options with new car purchases.
