What screws the Europeans over is the massive taxes your governments rape you with. Better off buying a car in the US and ship it over to your country. Volvo xc90 36-50k here in the US.millmax wrote:

If u import a car, you still have to pay all the taxes. There are 2 ways around: buy a car thats more that 30 years old, or move to a foreign country for at least 4 years, and you can import 1 can tax-free.The#1Spot wrote:

Hell! Even owning a television costs you $370 / year in a TV-licence, funding our <irony>great</irony> national broadcasting station.
If you buy a telly, you are registrerd. They go from door to door to have inspections to see wether or not you are paying your television fee. Is they catch you unregisterd with a telly, they can fine you up to $1850 ( 5 years of licencing cost)
