he chairman of Khaisilk, Hoang Khai, has bought Vietnam’s first Rolls-Royce car with the tab including tax estimated at above US$600,000.
The used, 2006-model Phantom, imported by Hoang Trong Ltd. last month, is a four-door sedan equipped with a 453hp, 6.75-liter cylinder V12 engine and six gears.
Quoted on Yahoo at $328,750, in Vietnam it attracted an additional 70 percent import tax, 50 percent luxury tax, and 10 percent value-added tax.
Several buyers in Ho Chi Minh City were interested in the car but Khai offered the highest price which was, however, not disclosed.
Hoang Trong Ltd. said a Vietnam businessman had placed an order for a Rolls-Royce Phantom manufactured this year.
