Hey, glad to see you back fella! Whats new in your world of Italian cars?

 

[BigFoot]

Well, there have been a few meets (the 30th Biturbo anniversary being the biggest one) which were nice but frankly, the picture for cars here in Italy is bleak. Taxes going through the roof, new cars not being sold, generally a pretty sombre mood.

Hi BF,

Oh its true all right Rob , re the tax investigation thingy , but those Italians dont like tolet anything go to cheap , but browsing through the Italian classified ive vertainly noticed a good overall 10% decrease in prices

Loz,
Only 10%, I thought it would be at least 25%, maybe we should wait a bit and let them get just a bit more desperate, what do you think..??

Loz,
I'm a Yorkshireman, no point paying too much for something when the price could easily be realistic..!!

Absolutely right. Just check: http://www.autoscout24.it

Crikey some of those figures are impressive..!!

 

[BigFoot]

The natural arbitrage of foreign buyers is that they don't have to pay the 20% VAT (when buying from a dealer).

 

[hodroyd]

BF,
So are the figures quoted plus 20%, or less 20%..??
Cheers
R

 

[BigFoot]

Usually the quoted price is what needs to be paid. But in some adverts, particularly for higher end cars, in the text box it says that for foreign buyers the price is lower (or, for domestic buyers, the price is higher). This works for dealer cars, not sales between individuals.

I may be wrong but that's how I understand it.
