That'll be 14000 Norwegian Kroner, Skruntie

Thats a good point but he put £ so thats what I went with.

Approx same value as us then.  (and I was falling asleep when posting - should have done the conversion last night)

14,000.00 NOK       =       1,435.00 GBP 

Well, I already did the conversion, hence the Pound sign
1GBP = roughly 10NOK at the moment (actually 9.739 as of today). The car was listed for almost 140000 good ol' Norwegian poker chips.

So yeah, Skruntie, I've been thinking about importing one. You can find them in good condition and at a great price in Germany. An English car would cause trouble as you're RHD while we are still driving at the correct other side of the road
Example: 2003 Omega 3.2 Executive, http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/showDetails.html?id=75397236&pageNumber=1.
Price: €5000, in NOK: 40295, lets round this off to NOK 40000. This is a bargain for me, but as the miggy is heavy and have a "way too large engine" I'm taxed to death when I import it.
A quick breakdown of the import/registration taxes (converted to GBP for easy comparison):

Weight: £11518
Engine power: £15256
Engine displacement: £20692
Age deterioration: - £26107
Scrap price: £133
VAT (only car): £1027
Total taxes: £22519

These taxes are unavoidable if I'm putting license plates on the vehicle. Import for parts only would only set me back a tiny bit for VAT. Seeing these enormous numbers, it's better to buy the car in Norway - if you find any 

This puts all the complaining we do over car taxes here into perspective .

Still, Norway must have something to recommend it - other than stunning scenery and beautiful women.

Mingers the lot of them........the women are much more attractive and desirable in Wakefield where STMO lives.......the lucky sod.....

Hi

Only a suggestion but why not take a driving holiday to Britain.?Stunning scenery, stunning women and stunning beer.

While you are there pay a visit to one of our experts and have a different engine (3.0 litre) put into your Omega.

You would have a better car, a holiday and change out of 40,000 !

Where in Britain, exactly are you proposing he takes a holiday???
Some places have one of those things, where has ALL of them?  (need somewhere for a holiday myself.....)

Why Gods own country of course.! PM me for details. I cannot post on an open forum as it would get ruined by too many visitors

[Sixstring]

Ah!! ANGLESEA then, or LUNDY?

Despite knowing the UK like the back of my hand i've never held a passport, flown or anything. I've heard from friends some countries are expensive (Portugal), very humid if not acclimatized (Turkey) but am staggered @ Norwegian taxes!!
   Thank god our chancellor does'nt own a Mig.
