Why are cars treated like garbage by authorities?

Maybe if you are American, not a problem here.

in many countries road tax/insurance have COMPLETE control over the market.
they effect prices of 2nd hand and desirability. they can make a car scrappable in an instant; no one wants to pay thru the roof road tax for a mint Jaguar S type. so its sent to the scrap coz its owner wont pay tax and no one wants to buy

£2000 is a lot more than $2000, it will also be for cars 12 years old or more so the X6 isn't included as they weren't made back then. So it's about what a 2004 2.5TDi A4 Avant sells for.

Because a new car costs more money and they want you to be in debt.

Britfag here paying ~£600 a year insurance and ~£300 a year in tax for 6L W12. Hardly bank busting figures.

25% if you were offered that as a pay rise you would call it a lot,
