But I do believe that the dealership wants to maintain a high profit margin. Did you notice that 'total government approved net selling price' column? Those days you can see the breakdown for items like excise duty and import duty. Today, there's none. So we'll never know what is the actual price of the car in order for us to determine their cost. From insider's information, I was also told that most dealership didn't pay import duty until the car is sold. Once sold, they will gather the invoices to pay to the customs. By doing so, they'll negotiate for discounts. Instead of paying 200% import duty, they might be required to pay only 100% for example. As long as they pay, the customs won't come down hard on them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
