> And this despite that practically every taxi here is a high-end Mercedes (and priced accordingly). A Mercedes used as a taxi in Denmark is significantly cheaper than one for personal use.

So for the taxi companies, buying a taxi Mercedes costs roughly what a Toyota costs for personal use. http://www.skat.dk/SKAT.aspx?oid=2244599&vid=0&lang=us http://www.skat.dk/SKAT.aspx?oid=2244599&vid=0&lang=us
