I was in China and heard the MINIs are very expensive over there.
Anyone has any ideas how much does a MINI cost in China?

I spend a lot of time in China, and I have never actually seen a MINI, but friends do tell me that they are available, but at a much higher prices due to the government taxation on buying new cars

I think they are more common in Beijing, as I haven't seen any in Shanghai yet

Didn't know that, anybody knows how high the tax is in China?

Probably not as high as in the Netherlands over here. On new cars you pay 45.2% minus 1540 euro's over the netto catalogue price, that's the price WITH accessories. I even considered to buy in house in Germany since I live near the German border. A new MCS is about 10.000 euro's cheaper in Germany!

I saw 4 MINIS in Hong Kong one with a very cool body kit on that I took a photo of but none in mainland China during the week I was there in March. Makes sense for a few in Hong Kong though.
