Having lived over here for 4 plus years now I can tell you, it doesn't just apply to Opel, it's all makes.
We looked for a small car for SWMBO when we first arrived, the best we could do was a 1999 pug 206 1,9D that was 3500 euros! Mind you, the residual value stays up as well, were able to trade it in last year (after 3 years) for 1500 on a Zafira!
I was looking at Omega 2.5 TD estates to replace my ageing Carlton but it's so much cheaper to get the body repairs and respray done that I kinda gave up on the idea for the time being.

if UK used LHD cars instead, I doubt second hand prices would be so low..

When Germany rule us, I'm sure they'll make us all drive on the other side of the road. Won't be long, now! ;)

Its the same in the Ukraine, you are looking at least four times the price for the same car in the UK and it can be up to ten times.  :o To get anything under $2000 (£1300) you are looking at something that is 25 years old or more and on its last legs.

Typical example or their version of Autotrader is: Price $8500 (£5600) for an 1999 2.0 Omega saloon, that has done 180000km (112500 miles)

Seeing how people are already wishing each other Happy Christmas, I might as well get in first for this, we change over to driving on the right on the 1st April 2012.  ::) ;D ;D ;D
