Mate,

Count yourself lucky, yeah importing an older car is allowed here and the older the car, the less tax you pay. All that is required is that the car has european type approval or dutch type approval at some point in the past.
That does rule out importing skylines. The only 'loophole' for us is to first import the car into britain and then importing into Holland but that means paying twice for one car.
That mentioned, the newer the car, the more tax you pay. For a brand now car you pay 35%!!! tax, so that brand new 50.000 euro sportscar will set you back an extra 20.000 fucking euros, please let me have that displacement tax, that would be a load cheaper. Even for a 10 year old car the tax is still around 10% or 15% of the _NEW_ value of the car.
But I heard the scandinavians have it even worse with up to 100% sales tax on import cars. Totally illegal according to EU rules but they found their loopholes to keep their precious income..

Owh and did I mention petrol prices? Highest in the world, 1 f*ing 50 euro per liter. Man my poor little hachi guggles up over 50 euros on a 30 liter gas refill, I cry everytime I need to fill her up, luckely not that often....
