[QUOTE="links, post: 4504853, member: 3078"] Well, HK did have 100% "first time registration tax" on the vehicle. Their road tax are also base on the cc of the car but the having maximum level so its cheaper than malaysia. A hk$3million Zonda needs to pay another hk$3 million of tax if the owner want to register it and drive on HK road. But the smart ass hk people are finding a loop hole to evade it by registering a car dearler company, applied for test car plates and insurance so that they can avoid to pay the 100% registration tax and drive the car around. But the petrol price in HK are something worthwhile to mention. The latest price is about HK$14.5 per litre which is about RM$7 per litre, half of the price paid is actually the petrol tax (yes, their govt dont subsidise petrol and yet charging tax on it~!!). Standard parking charge in major car parks are around HK$20-40 per hour which is around RM10-20. Most super cars running on hk road are right hand drive just as in msia. Regarding the value of the price...i guess it will depend on the people who are paying for it. For the cases of zonda cinque, 599 gto, reventon or other special vehicle, some owner are trully collector which appreciate the rarity of the marques and some are just want to be different in the sea of mass production lambo, ferrari or porsche. One guy made hk$2m just by selling his reventon and several other guys are actually making profit by owning and selling limited edition cars. The owner of these supercars are coming from different background, some are specialist doctor, some are owner of small medium business, some are bankers, some are born with rich daddy, a few are actually famous "tuition teacher" and some are in property developement business or owner of listed companies. Basically they came from all different kind of businesses.....not only limited to finance related one. Their economy is much more ''fast phase'' if you asked me to compare with msia. People tend to find ways to earn money and willing to spend it so their spending power is enormous which you can get rich if you know how to meet the market trend. But disadvantages are people's value are generally focus in $$$, they will do anything or everything just for the sake of $$$ and without concern on ethic or self esteem.
