Business | A car-owner with a medium-size car spends approximately $1,000 annually just to possess a car. In the past five years, inflation and vehicle prices (up roughly 7.5%)have remained low; however, fuel prices (up 15%) and transfer of car ownership costs (up 25%) have soared, not to mention the prospected 50% increase in car insurance in 2001. The automotive sector is still weighed down by a tax load that dampens domestic demand. (references) | |
