Default Presentation - Xsara VTS

Hello, my name is Rafael and I live in Brazil. I registered on the forum because I love mustangs. A pity that in Brazil is very expensive to have one. Somewhere around $ 80,000 dollars. My English is very bad, I gradually improving. Here I have a Xsara VTS 2.0 16v, it has the original 168hp, 190hp with this currently. I hope to exchange information and participate in the forum.

Welcome to the forum from Europe. Be glad it's as cheap as $80.000 for you. By the time I get a new one here with a licenseplate, I'm looking at some $120.000

Welcome, hopefully you will be able to have a Mustang soon. I have not heard of a Xsara before where are they made?

Welcome to the Forum!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Xsara is built in Brazil. Not being a smart-**** but Brazil is very Economy-centric meaning if it ain't built or made their they tax the crap out of it. Up to 80% taxes on the RETAIL value, not wholesale or production value. Thus the $80K for a Mustang.

I work for a company that sells globally and over the last few years Brazil has made things even more difficult to export (import for themselves).

The Xsaras are manufactured in Argetina and France, but little more sporty VTS version is manufactured in France only.

In Brazil is really hard! Car taxes are too high!
Cars that are manufactured in Brazil and sold to other countries can be sold cheaper outside than inside the same parents.
