 Posted: Sun Dec 02, 2007 7:55 pm Post subject: Owning a car in Germany? |
 |
|
Hello all! I thought I'd registered here before but I guess I never did. Anyway, I'm Jay and I've just moved to Potsdam (Germany - near Berlin.)
I'm looking at buying a car over here (doesn't have to be a Corolla - anything smallish with flip-up headlights will do) and I'm wondering how expensive things like tax+insurance+tüv are. I've heard a few horror stories but everything else seems to be cheaper here than back home.
Anyway, greets to you all. I know some of you from other boards but to those I don't, hi.  Are there any meets or events going on I'd want to know about?
- J

The mk 3 supra is cheap here in germany, wellcome in berlin !!!!!
Alle Japanese Cars arent expensive here, o.k. a little more money for an ae86 maybe.
I know mechanical guys south of berlin, they specialice japanese cars and owned mk3 with hks and so on, they make good work at my ae86 since 15 Years
good luck

Heh, thanks for the ideas guys! This is what I left behind in Canada:
^^ Celica GT-S daily driver & Porsche 944S track car
^^ And this Starion (Conquest) TSi that I dragged up from New Mexico when I got sick of dealing with rust
^^ This is how it looked when I saw it last.
And here's my old Corolla that I sold two years ago:

(More pics here and here.)
If I get some time to go back and finish the Starion I might ship it over, but that won't be for a while. It needs a lot of engine work & tuning too.
