Title: Price of i30
Post by: Hemmi on September 18, 2008, 21:43:12: So...as the poor weak icelandic krona gets weaker and weaker after years of spending and spending and loaning and loaning, the fun is out,
I just wanted to share with you what a new i30 costs at the moment, and I don't think I will see many in the next months :|

All the prices are in Icelandic Krona, because this is an international forum just go to http://www.xe.com/ucc/ (http://www.xe.com/ucc/) to convert to your currency :) or sad

Hope you find this interesting :|
Sad I agree, but it's all down to the credit crunch, or maybe that should be Kredit Krunch

Post by: Hemmi on September 18, 2008, 22:24:24: Actually I'm glad that it took 5 months for my car to arrive, why? Because when I ordered the car I was going to get 80% car loan in foreign currencies.
Here's a chart for the Icelandic Krona Trade Weighted Index (TWI)

1 Year chart

5 Year chart
(http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u52/hermannh/5year.jpg)

So this means when I got my i30 and signed the papers the currencies I chose (JPY & CHF) were strong and ISK was weak, which was good because if the ISK would one day get better and stronger the loan would decrease, although my loan has increased a little now it would be much higher if I'd got the car earlier.
Poor people who took 100% foreign loan one year ago, I've heard a lot of stories of loans that are now higher than the value of the car :roll: silly people.

No they didn't

But they gave me a nice discount of the body kit.

You mean 17.796,65 EUR = 2.338.000 ISK
Thats amazing, thats a little bit more than here. 9 months ago I could have gotten the 1,4 version for 14.000 EUR

Post by: i30mania on September 20, 2008, 12:30:53: Your prices are very expensive according to Turkey

i30 CRD? 115hp Select 33.500 TL = 18.500 Euro = 26.750 dolar

We have very high taxes.

Your calucations are correct. But I did a mistake in EUR price. Instead of 4 I wrote 7.
Price of my car was 445.764.- SKK (Slovak Krown). Thats 14.796.65.- EUR (1 EUR = 30.126 SKK).

So price which I mentioned before in ISK was correct

14.796.65.- EUR = 1,944.331 ISK

Im sorry for confusing you
