This is the same way as in Norway, only that the delivery vans are only 30% taxes
or so. Almost any luxury station wagon or any minivan can be bought as two seater
delivery versions here, at very reduced prices. Of course, the bigger engine, the
higher cost, no matter if the bigger engine is cleaner and more efficinet than
the smaller alternative. Example: A Chr*sler minivan, as a 7 seater 3,8 wagon it
can cost as much as $90.000, but as a 2 seater 2,5 TD delivery it starts at
$25.000. Crazy, no?
