At least you guys didnt have 300% tax on imported cars
Haha, well yeah we do have free(ish) health care and schoolsOriginally Posted by Charlie
The german cars are pretty common, VWs and Opels probably being the most common. Altho all the normal models of toyota, honda and nissan are probably even more so. And of course the Swedish ones are quite common too, Volvo and Saab.
EDIT: forgot about the frenchies, we also have a bunch of citroens and renaults around.
But it doesn't matter if you're importing a car from Sweden, Germany or Japan. The taxes will still slap you silly, but funnily enough it'll still often be cheaper than buying a car here. And in most cases (at least sweden and germany) the cars will be in better shape, driven less and a bunch cheaper.

Lucky! Gah, what I would do for a newer Fiat/Alpha Romeo/Citroën/Renault/SEAT/Opel/Vauxhall/Škoda. Renault is pronounced "Reh-no", correct?
Haha, most of those are the makes that drop the quickest in value over here. Oh, and Opel and Vauxhall are the exact same thing.
You think Ford's, Chevy's, and Dodge's [and respective sub-brands] keep their value here? My mom's '02 Dodge Intrepid went from $8,000 KBB to $1,500 in about two year's time.
In Finland I guess there are higher taxes than here in Estonia. At least that's what I've heard from people about cars. If I'd bring myself a car from another country, then at home I'd have to pay 1900 EEK-s (less than $190) for first time registration, 500 EEK-s (a bit under $50) for inspection and the insurance depends on the car, the owner and where the owner lives.
I'd love to own some old 70's Japanese or American muscles. They look hot as hell! Unfortunately old Jap cars are mostly rusted out and the remaining fine ones have a price that you don't want to hear. Well that's in Estonia, but when I look at nettiauto.fi (Finnish car selling page) then I see old Japs with such low price that make me think about importing some here.
And in topic too, I've got some 14" Borbet B-s for winter wheels. Haven't made any pics of them yet, but they made my car higher, because I put some higher tyres on them.

The reason we have more of the older cars I guess is because of the ridiculous prices here, people use their cars longer because they're so damn expensive. Altho pretty much all the older japanese cars are rusted pretty badly here too, or then they're restored with classic tags and not cheap at all.In Finland I guess there are higher taxes than here in Estonia.

Re: The 2 Aerodecks - '89EXi & '89EXi Exclusive Edition
Sweet !!!
Finland in EU, so its not that expensive as here where I live, the most retarded country in the world when it comes to cars is Norway, its basically you cant do anything to our cars here. even if you lower the car you have to have a paper that says its TUV certified. but when it comes to taxing the import its crazy.. last years they worked out a model that makes buying car here is cheaper than import one from germany.
on the topic, I've seen one Hatch in Finland few years back, US import Blue DX.

I haven't had time to paint the upper side of my bumper yet though. As this bumper has had some damage before me, I'm not going to use it next year, I'll only drive that one through the winter. For spring I got a white bumper, that's in almost mint condition.
But okay, to the mounting of the lights now:
This is how it look with the closed hood. You can see a hole through the bumper:
With the hood open, You can see 2 hooks on the bumper and a plug. No bumper trim although:
The hooks are there for holding the rear part of the lightholder:
Now you need to use that hook-like stick. It has a coil on the other end and a butterfly nut on it. The black thing on top of the butterfly nut is just a rubber nut to protect the coils:
You have to put it through the bumper in the hole that was in the first pic. The hook stays under:
When it's through the bumper, lock it with the butterfly nut:
Plug:
