NEW EXCISE TAX LAW... what do you think?

laswoosh · August 2003

i heard that almost all cars in the 100,000 to 1.1 million price category will have a sharp decrease in its price due to the new excise tax law... for example a bmw 323 from 1.4 million (because of the old tax) will now be priced at about 1.05 million....

the only cars that will get more expensive within the 100,000 to 1.1 million price bracket will be the AUVS (e.g. crv, rav, revo, adventure, crosswind) because they will lose the 10 passenger exemption.

what do you think guys? im not really 100% sure on this.... opinions pls...

i would be very happy if it would push through... but i heard Osmena is contradicting because his share of "kurakot" would be lessen!! :( im sure if this thing pushes through, there would be more buyers of mid-class sedans like the 3-series! woohoo!:)

I hope it passes... si osmena tumatanggi daw e... kulang daw taxes makukurakot niya!:(

if that is the case..... then i would say "good riddance" to those diesel farting, suv wannabes which they call an auv. yahu!

I also think it should pass through. Poor Nissan X-Trial. It just newly launched and now it has to go through this. (is it included in the price increase, btw?)

Now there will be more mid-class cars such as the 3 series. Is the Camry, Cefiro and Accord going to be cheaper too?

the nissan xtrail's price will decrease... since it is not classified as an auv (10 seater) thus not exempted...... kaya its price now which is based on engine power will definitely decrease -- yung price niya ithink is 1.1-1.35 million (already inclusive of tax)
