It is a bargain for the Dutch and Danish people!
When you want to buy a 'normally' spec'd Spyder in The Netherlands it will cost you roughly $174k on tax.
Mind you, this is tax only, the price of the car itself is not included in the $174k.
With the taxes included the price tag is $477k over here.
Which means we have to pay roughly 58% tax on this beauty. In Denmark it is even worse.Last edited by F Spider; 31-01-2021, 02:50.

business opportunity
I know someone will open a Spyker rental company in Duisburg (near the Dutch border). Hahaha! With German number plates..... and 3 orange C8 Spyders! I am sure the 1,000 $ per day rate will seem very cheap! It is your choice then, either to take the car into Holland and "behave" or to go onto the German motorways...Last edited by F Spider; 31-01-2021, 02:50.

For a while I flew from NY to Dusseldorf and then drove to Holland in a rented car with German plates (because you can rent much more fun cars in Germany). I was stopped by the Dutch customs, and they checked me very thorough.
I'm Dutch, but I am a non-resident. That is why they let me go.Last edited by F Spider; 31-01-2021, 02:49.Rijk

Dutch, Danish an Canadian prices are insane: both Denmark (5th place) and the Netherlands (7th) have one of the biggest GDP's (per capita), but taxes on cars causes residents to predominantly buy 'reasonably priced' cars. When you compare this to for instance Germany (17th), you'll see they (on average) drive more expensive cars
