Hi CCOVICH, a car industry rule of thumb is to buy at 3 years and sell at 4, due to the majority of depreciation hit having taken place.CCOVICH said:Why do you want to sell in 12 months?
I am not sure. Depends on the year of the 316. Prior to 2002? the 316, was a 1.9l, after '02, it became a 1.8l.CCOVICH said:A few people have said that a 316 is a little short on power.
Perhaps, the IS200 market is currently depressed due to the introduction of the IS250. Many part exchanges are happening. Ten may be better than nine, I reckon it'll sell for about 10.CCOVICH said:I note that you are assuming that you will win the auction at €9k, with 3 days to go-is this realistic?
I have used the VRT servelet to calculate the expected VRT on all specs of IS200 from 2000 to 2003 for all trim levels.CCOVICH said:How have you calculated the VRT? Is it on the Revenue's open market value (OMV)?
Well, I'm not sure that I didn't answer any of your questions-I asked whether you were sure of getting the car at the current price and whether you had calculated the VRT correctly, these would strike me as possible pitfalls. You are running a HPI check and having the car checked by the RAC, so I guess that covers two more.ISGS said:Not being rude, but you haven't answered any of my questions.
I appreciate that concept of giving to a site before I get from this site, so perhaps you could try and answer some of my questions in my original post?
ISGS said:Hi everyone,
first post here.
I've read some of the stickies but would like to post a few questions too.
I'd like to buy a Lexus IS200.
I can buy it =# for €26,000
or from England, here [broken link removed]
for about €9K plus €6K (VRT)
Does that make sense? I read on boards that it only makes sense to import a car from England if it the cars value is in the 15s to 20K range.
What am I missing? apart from about 1000 euro for costs, RAC, HPI, and flights and ferry back.
Sorry if this has been asked before, I just wanted to post it (having read the previous posts)
A guy I know who does this as a part time job, tell's me I should buy a 316 instead, easy to sell in 12 months, apparently.
