The higher prices are a reflection on the various taxes levied in Europe.

I'm in my home country of Croatia every other year or so and a new M3 for example runs the equivalent of $180,000...

The prices on used cars are higher because the price of new cars is much higher.

The car costed around €53.000,- ($73000) over here in holland because of all the taxes, etc.

Cars are extremely expensive over here, like the fuel. A gallon costs about € 6,23 ($8,50)! mad.gif

53.000€ ??? What the actual f*ck!?

I hope you are saying this as if you bought the car brand new 15 or some years ago... but even in that case, 53.000€ i nearly twice the price of what was a brand new 6gc worth. Not to mention it's an ST, which you can get for less than 2.000€ now almost anywhere in EU...

Never heard about Holland having such taxes though... I heard about Singapore, where you pay almost twice the price of a car, but still... 53.000€? biggrin.gif

Just a question... What's your price for registration. I'm wondering if it's as insane as my home country.

Over there it's 5% of the vehicles original price..... annually... lol

Had her just about 1 year now and added up all my receipts, not including oil changes or other fluids.
$2570.27 spent this year including 1755.77 to rebuild and swap in a new motor. add to that the $2000 I paid for the car and I'm at $4570.27 total.
I still need to spend about $400 in struts, mounts, end-links, that will be coming soon. But that's the only thing left that really needs to be taken care of.
$5,000 for a car that will be dependable for several years is well worth it to me. <3 smile.gif

I paid $3.5 for my 95 GT. 94k miles. Mint condition.
New Kumho Ecstasy 4x tire (all 4): $300
New Nrg Removable Steering wheel kit: $200 (steering wheel was a gift)
Used TRD Front strut tower bar: $210
New Eibach springs / KYB strut/ strut related components: $800
New ST sway bars: $260
New s2000 antenna, used 7th gen celi base:$40
New GT-4 rear strut tower bar: $220
New Racing Beat rear end links: $70
OEM replacement parts(maintenance), includes timing belt kit:$1500
New OEM style Vis CF hood: $650
New Poly Motor Mount inserts: $55
Used Kouki Taillights: $150
New clear courtesy light w/ Led's: $35
Lithium Ion battery (3lbs): $280
Didn't include labor since most of the work is done by me.

Planning to do a 1MZFE swap and lightweight wheels.
For fuel expenses click my Fuelly banner below.

Total: $8,270 in the car itself and parts.
With swap and wheel I'll be pushing it over 10k. Not bad considering I'll be faster and handle a lot better than those new $10-$20k cars. ;P

Bump! I’m not brave enough to total mine up again but seeing this thread does make me feel slightly better about my reckless spending.
