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. :wink: Are there any meets or events going on I'd want to know about?

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

AE 86 since 1988 !!!!

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.
