What is best venue for selling an Alpina?

[JR Calvin]

The problem I see with the UK site and the Germany site is that the import taxes, etc make the purchase and importation from the USA too expensive for a reasonable sale price.

I just answered you that I think may be the best place to sell. Genuine buyer can be found in the neighborhood but also in Bangkok.

Gentlemen, we need to create a specific section for Alpina for sale and Alpina Parts for sale that is clear and crisp and no Alpina car could post and its specific to this site, so people could visit and perhaps make deals, and also would generate some traffic to this site as well.

What exactly are you thinking of? A classifieds listing function? If you can find an example I could try to duplicate it.

According to one of my contacts in Germany who had expressed an interest in my B7S, the Taxes are 20% on sell/purchase price and the Duty is an additional 10% on the sell/purchase price.

So the 10% duty would be an additional cost on a North American-sourced vehicle, but I imagine every vehicle is subject to the 20% tax? Do you know, when we see a car listed on mobile.de does the price include the 20% tax or is it on top of that?

Swiss prices seem to be insanely high. I wonder if that is taxes or just a high-value currency.

I came close on pulling the trigger on Lawrences car with several high bids the last couple of hours of the sale. I just could not justify the final sale price...I guess I just did not want it bad enough. My wife would have shot me also...another story.

John not sure what you want out of yours but Ebay worked for Lawrence - you may consider trying this and if you do not get the price you want don't sell.

How much are the German import taxes?
