How come all the taxi's in Amsterdam are Mercedes?

**Young** · 03-11-2005, 02:59 PM

Its like that in alot of places. I went to the Islands of Cape Verde 2 years ago and it was the same thing.

any explanations?

**Mefo** · 03-11-2005, 03:00 PM

Because they're all turks & turks always drive a mercedes

nah no clue, they can deduct the expenses from the taxes anyway, and it looks nice, probably gives clients a better feeling

**axelcat** · 03-11-2005, 03:00 PM

Yes it is like that at alot of places

**deniska** · 03-11-2005, 03:01 PM

because they drive benz's with v4's and no leather

.. u cant get cars like this in the us.. too ghetto

**adonthenet** · 03-11-2005, 03:02 PM

thats true, cheap benzo's are only sold overseas because they will cheapen the brand here in the states. I did see leather seats in the ones I was in.....but they were covered in plastic

YEah, it gives a better feeling of taking a mercedes taxi than othercheaper car, wich means more clients = can afford to pay for it

**thaifan99** · 03-11-2005, 03:05 PM

Rich bastards!

**BRISK** · 03-11-2005, 03:05 PM

Because Europeans have style

**AkiraSS** · 03-11-2005, 03:13 PM

Benzes are really cheap cars, sell for like $5k here in europe

:-)

Oh, and the Mercedes doesn't brake down, no need to repair it ;)

**CAHEK** · 03-11-2005, 03:18 PM

because they ripp of custumers

ride to airport was on S-class benz was like 70$ for like 5-10min

**Illicit** · 03-11-2005, 03:54 PM

It costs a shit load to import them in the US. Take that off the top and strip em down and they arent that expensive

**yanni** · 03-11-2005, 04:48 PM

They're tax-free

**Spunky** · 03-11-2005, 04:50 PM

That would be nice if they drove them here...nothing but junkers

**calmlikeabomb** · 03-11-2005, 04:56 PM

spunky,

I notice your location says toiletville.

That by chance wouldn't happen to be Port St. John would it ?

What he said.

They don't break down. There's your reason. It has nothing with "giving the client a better feeling" or whatever.

**wedouglas** · 03-11-2005, 05:09 PM

the same reason that they say "why are all taxis in the US fords (or whatever the hell they are)"

**Fake Nick** · 03-11-2005, 05:09 PM

over here you see benz , but the dudes driving the cabs don't own them ,the cab company does

click on taxi

**pornguy** · 03-11-2005, 05:10 PM

Because over there FORD is the import, and therefore expensive to buy and repair.
