Diesels seem to be. Lordy.

Used values in the uk are rediculously low afaict.

if I sell my miggy even 3 times that price here people will kill each other to buy it..
 
the second hand car prices in UK so low that you cant buy a complete set of good quality 235 45 17 tires with wheels here

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.  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.

Well that would solve the problem of what to do with all the RHD cars.. they'll all be embedded in the front of the trucks!
