Discount on cayenne

You've chosen the one EU country with the lowest VAT and one of the smallest markets.

Strictly speaking, we should be comparing net prices, before VAT, as that is completely out of Porsche's control. The VAT is a sales tax that you pay to the government, and Porsche don't see that money. The UK has lower VAT than a lot of EU countries, so it would close the gap.

That's hardly representative of the EU as a whole. If you're trying to demonstrate average EU pricing, Luxembourg is probably the weakest example you could pick.

I'm not trying to demonstrate anything. You are the one that made the assertion that the EU is 15-20% more expensive than the UK. All I had to do was pick one country to demonstrate that is false.

Nevertheless, If you do an average of all the price increases for the major markets you will at least find yourself between a 10-15% difference and that is conservative numbers.

Unless you have the evidence that "EU is 15-20% more expensive than the UK", then any discussion is irrelevant. I personally don't have the time to look at every country in the EU and compare the prices with the UK. All I had to do is demonstrate your assertion to be false. The NL and Germany are not close to 15-20% more than the UK, either.

Not to escalate this any further, price difference (OTR) Germany and UK is around 11% with similar TAX. Cars here are in general cheaper, in particular Mercedes. VW is an outlier though. BMW is cheaper than Mercedes in Germany, UK seems opposite but depends on discounts.
