Why are things more expensive in England than in the usa?
For example:
I saw an ad in a magazine published for the UK and i saw a car advertisement. The add was for a Nissan 350Z and it said the starting price was 26,000 pounds.
If you convert the 26,000 pounds into US dollars the amount is approximately $52,000.
On the Nissan USA website it lists the Nissan 350Z at a starting price of $28,000.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??????????

companies have a wide variety of pricing policies by country. also import duties weigh heavily on the final price. some car companies have travel and buy programs where you travel to the country where the car is made, purchase the car at the lower local rates and then you dirve your new car while on vacation and the company arranges for shipping the vehicle home.
currency rate differences may make this more or less attractive.

A large part of it is tax - that pretty much says it all.
