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)!

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€?

€53.000 was the new price indeed!

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

Between 2 hotted up Group A's - over $40K and still going

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

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.

Whatever it takes to help you sleep at night.

probably over 60k now cumulatively, not saying all of that 60k is on the car now.
