Supercars Italians no longer afford


Italy is considered to be a benchmark in the world of fashion, style and luxury, no matter on which side of life is at stake. If the hearts of beautiful ladies nachivayut flutter at the mention of Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, their companions dream once to open the gates of his garage and see it gleaming Ferrari, Maserati or even a Lamborghini.
 

Italians themselves do not just want to buy supercars, they are trying to get rid of the existing ones, even lost a lot of value. Blame the deep recession that gripped the economy. Italy's national debt has already exceeded $ 2 trillion. euro, the government is trying by all means to reduce costs and increase revenue by introducing new taxes. They also threaten the Italian supercar market sales decline at least twice - the owners of super cars have long pay annual tax for each car, and now it will be even more significant. For example, for the pleasure of the breeze to drive Lamborghini Aventador worth 316,000 euros will have to pay to the treasury 8,400 euros each year (before the recent increase in taxes for the same car were paying a tax of 6,600 euros per year).

Raising taxes has led not only to a drop in demand for new vehicles, but also to revive the market for used supercars. It played a role in a raid on popular resort towns, where Italian police catches corrupt officials and tax evaders, especially checking the owners of expensive cars and luxurious villas, walking thousands of euros for private parties. So I do not want the Italians to attract more attention - even if the house is in Argegno and Maserati MC12 has been earned by honest labor, grueling tests and calls to the police and tax authorities are unlikely to be avoided, and the pleasant experiences they currently are unlikely to leave.
