    Does anyone have any idea of what the onroads/tax/other charges for a Zonda would be?

    The obvious answer to a major portion of that would be to start an LMCT (genuinely) and buy and sell the exotics in that.

    starts to hit home just how silly it all is when you think you could buy a fleet of 60 or 70 taxis for the price of a toy... TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!! :cool:

    Not really, its all relative. Different strokes for different folks.
    Think of what some people pay for a bottle of wine, house or hooker.

    Should have asked me about wine, I could answer that but hookers are out of my level of expertise.

    I would guess though, it would depend on what tickles your fancy. :)

    edit: oh, and how many you want at the same time

    Actually no, and that is with just a cheap Sony point-and-shoot model too.

    I'm surprised how well some of my pics came out.

    some more (non-ferrari)

    If the $1.2m includes GST and LCT (as it should), the on road costs in Qld would be around $25,000.

    Might as well post a few of my photos. Pretty disappointing show really, the Rollers were the highlight for me.

    should be yeah? can't be bothered scrolling back, but he said $1.4mil or so didn't he...?

    that's $1.4M x 25% = $350k

    not taking into account $57k LCT free coz i don't know the final price but yeah with on-road and stamp etc i can see $2Mil being emancipated from scud's brownie-points fund

    TOTAL TAXES etc would be in the region of $450k (total WOFTAM). The onroad costs in QLD would be in the region of $25k (as indicated) on top of the $1.3 million.............So drive away in the mid $1.3's by my calculations.

    Judging by the difficulty in getting the F50 insured, the Zonda would be a tough call in that department.

    Thats what i have been told....... i was thinking the other prices thrown around were odd sounding, if it came to that, i'm sure that Rog would not be entertaining the thought .......... as much

    What's WOFTAM?
    If total taxes = 450k and Zonda F RRP = 1.3mil then shouldn't it be 1.75mil drive away?

    360C, you're going to have to stop using "WOFTAM" as nobody understands it.

    Waste Of F@cking Time And Money.

    You DO realise that the vast majority of the tax component is included in the retail price by law? The $1.3 million includes the duty, luxury car tax and GST i.e. $425k ish of the $450k. The only Government grab is the OTR costs which is a fancy polish from the dealer and the 2% (in QLD) rego fee.
