Default Getting cheaper by the day!

Good news for you chaps stateside with the € recently falling vs the $.

The cars for sale in Europe are starting to look a little cheaper, get them while you can!!

"VAT not reclaimable" Someone explain to me how there is "value added" in a used car transaction?

The "value" is not added to the used car. It is added to the Gov't coffers...

So about $202k USD.

Is that a good deal for this car?

Not particularly.

I posted this with a certain ammount of irony.

These cars rarely come up for sale, when they do it depends on condition and provenance as to how they are priced.

They seem to trade or be valued in a similar way to desirable property in a bull market, price the next one above the level where the last one traded and see what happens!...
You can come down on price if interest is shown, but harder to ask more £$€.

The car looks genuine, but there are a few details that are not quite right, seats, wheels, stering wheel...etc....
As mentioned you tend to price on interest shown, but would expect this to be nearer €110-120k based on the few recent and comparable transactions.
