new tax system for new SUVs next year?

**boybi** · December 19th, 2002 09:28 PM

went to Ford Pampanga yesterday (after dropping by at kimpoy's shop) and looked at the new ford expedition. sabi nung sales rep dun tataas daw ng 50% yung tax for suv's by next year. totoo ba ito? yung price ng new expedition na 1.945M magiging more than 2.2M daw.

well, magiging value-based na yung tax supposedly... not on engine displacement na and mawawala na yung 10-seater AUV exemption... so baka nga tumaas yung price ng premium SUVs (although maibabalik na rin ata yung 4x4 models at no extra tax) that are riding on the 10-seater exemption now

although, sure na bababa yung presyo ng LC100 at prado, at rav4! :D yahoo!

sheeeesh............... more taxes ................... wala namang nangyayari! Taxes are the main reason why manufacturers cant bring in the good features...... coz theyre trying to keep costs down

pajerokid,

my fearless predictions: (hula hula lang ito ha! on the basis that premium SUVs riding on the 10-seater exemption will become more expensive when the exemption is removed)

patrol: 4x2 model will be dropped, prices will increase considerably
expedition: prices will increase considerably
trooper: prices will increase considerably
pajero: 4x2 model will be dropped, prices will increase considerably

chevy venture: prices will increase slightly
kia sedona: prices will increase slightly

rav4: prices will drop drastically
grand vitara: prices will drop drastically
cr-v: 10-seater model will be dropped, prices will increase slightly, 4WD model available
escape 4WD: prices will drop drastically

revo, crosswind, adventure: prices will increase slightly
pickups: no change? baka drop slightly...

altis 1.8G: prices will drop considerably
altis 1.6, civic, lynx, sentra, lancer...: prices will drop slightly
city: um... prices will increase slightly?
accord, camry, cefiro...: prices will drop slightly
BMWs, benzes,...: 6-cylinder model (2.5L and above) prices will drop considerably

:? :?:

mbt::: hmmmmm..... i agree with some but not all. For example.....

to keep prices down, i think toyota will respond by introducing a FWD RAV4. Honda will retain the current CRV but will Introduce a Higher end model with RT4WD. I agree with your predictions on the Patrol and Pajero. I think the trooper will have a 4WD big brother. Exped? not sure.

Pwede pala tayong manghuhula hehehe :mrgreen:

what do you mean patrol and pajero 4x2's will be dropped? are they going to introduce 4x4 models or hindi na magbebenta ng mga patrols and pajeros?

**pajerokid** · December 20th, 2002 12:38 AM

feeling ko lang 4x2s will be dropped. The only reason they were released was to avoid the excise tax on 4x4s. feeling ko lang :D

Does anyone have a link or can explain this new tax scheme?

We're planning to buy a new car early next year so i'm kinda curious on how it will affect the price (we're looking at the Corolla 1.8 or the Hiace Super Grandia).
