Nothing to do with being stupid, the guy I got it from also has 2 2.9 Vr6 Corrado's but it's his hobby so a G60 means less for him as does the Vr6's. By the way, you could get a Mk.III 2.8 VR6 here for less than 1k here
A decent condition MKIII VR6 would cost you at least €10,000 here
I was going to say, it sounds like you'd have to be a retard to buy a car in Denmark if you can get one for a tenth of the price in Germany/Holland/Belgium just a few hours drive away.
Import duties.
I like pie.
Although it has a lot of dents in it ... it's a 4x4 ... just screwed up a U-joint on the front axle.
I bet that's about 100 times more reliable than my junker. I've recently become my own mechanic, as well as financially drained. :notawsm:OrangeHound wrote:

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it
I've got a radiator leaking and a u-joint busted ... just waiting for parts to arrive and then a few hours of labor to replace them. Stuff breaks all the time on a Jeep, but I love them.King_County_Downy wrote:

Protip: The price we pay more than you is all tax, when we import a car, we have to pay the same registration tax to get license plates for it...ghettoperson wrote:

And before you say "dutch plates hurr durr", it is illegal as a dane, to drive a car with foreign plates within Denmark.... to avoid that very loophole...
Then again, we have NO roadtaxing or city-limiting like much of europe...

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
But surely that's going to be a percentage of the cost of the car? Or does it use the cost from new?FloppY_ wrote:

I'd rather have road taxes than MX5s which cost 50 grandFloppY_ wrote:

The percentage is calculated by a certain formula.. the only thing that will make sence to import is to import a used car with tons of extras installed since the extras are taxed differently... and cars from mid-south germany are not as rusted as ours... but the value of the same car imported or bought locally is so close to the same it is not worth the effort to import except if you are after a very specific, rare model...ghettoperson wrote:

tl;dr there is no way to avoid paying the 180% registration tax...

I mean, say you bought a car in Germany for 2000 euros. At 180% you're going to have to pay an extra 3600 euros. That's still a lot less than the 10k you reckoned it'd cost.
EDIT: What's the point of the tax though? It's not like Denmark has a car industry to protect.

It's just some stupid tax.. we are after all one of the highest taxed countries (after Norway I believe)...ghettoperson wrote:

The problem is. if they lower the tax significantly they destroy the used car market. and if they do, they also have to figure out where to get the money from instead...
It's complicated but tl;dr version is retarded taxing of cars...
e.g. I recently bought a Diesel MKII golf, shortly after they put a 1000DKK fee on diesels without particle filters... which applied to ALL diesels from ALL ages without the filters... (except of course those who pollute the most, the business' vans, which are exempt if they are older than the law)...
And even though my old petrol car goes half the km on a litre of fuel, it does not have a similar environmental tax...
I am now forced to pay a new environment tax that those who do the heavy polluting DON'T pay...
tl;dr I'm moving out of this auto-hellhole one day...
EDIT: I believe the problem is that politicians never leave their fucking desks and look at the real world /whine
EDIT2: Don't get me started, I could go on forever about how retarded the auto-taxation is here..

Trust me, they would be worth the same... I don't exactly know the formula, but I believe they take the current value AND original value into account....Dauntless wrote:

tl;dr rarely worth the trouble of importing...
The only value I have ever heard that you can count on gaining, are the optional extras which I believe are not taxed extra when imported (e.g. aircon etc.)

But isn't it possible for you, to buy a car in a foreign country, get it on the foreign plates, pay the foreign taxes and still drive it in Denmark?FloppY_ wrote:
