And I thought buying a car is expensive in Van

Wow, I was chatting with my Irish colleagues and they were complaining about how cars are expensive here in Ireland and they some times go and buy cars from UK.
I was sort of skeptical, I thought cars are expensive in Van, so I asked and I got shocking numbers.
First, the basic price is more expensive, which I am not sure why!!!, then you pay sort of sales tax which is around 20%.
Then you still have to pay sort of another tax, which I am not sure what it is called, but it is 25% (30% for luxury cars).
Then yo still have to pay road tax which is around 600 Euro per year.
Man!!!!!!
