What on earth do you mean with that? Seems to be around 40k USD in Sweden, and I've never before heard of any rumor that cars would be an unaffordable luxury in Scandinavia.
- charlesdm 8y agoHow much would, say a new Audi A4, cost you in Sweden? Singapore is expensive because of the additional taxes that get added on to the base price. From what people (on HN in fact) have told me most Scandinavian countries levy significant extra taxes on car purchases. So the $40k car might actually only be $15 to 20k in other countries such as Germany and Belgium?
- pathseeker 8y agoBut neither of those ranges are near the $160k in Singapore.

- analyzethis 8y agoHint: Scandinavia is not a country. Cars are cheap in Sweden compared with Denmark, for instance.
