Found this here in Norway today: http://www.tinde.no/au/car.tas?Ref=1757994&nonavig=1

Looks nice.
un-original wheels - are the ortiginal available ?
noisy (Devil?) exhaust.
Do I need to mention Trailing arms ?
Check if you like the interior - it says its grey, which should make the dash black.
Price seems reasonable ?? - how much tax do you normally pay on cars compared to Denmark ?

if you buy it, you'll soon find the RED DEVIL MAFIA here on the forum :)

Hehe, the one I am thinking about buying is a standard 2.2, cinnamon-colored. Needs some mech work and an MOT.

Looks like there is ALOT of red ones in here.... Love the coral myself  :D

Hmm, looks good  :) how much does it cost in Euro?

Around 9000euros for it.


What tax did you mean Lennart?

oh, I thought you had some registration tax on cars in Norway too ? 

They do... but it's "only" about 100% on new cars, I think...

Ah, I see. Yes, ofcourse we have. It is all depending on the age and weight of the car. only 2700,- NOK for this one.

How much does it cost in Euro?

Ca. 340 euros

Dirt Cheap if you ask me  :)

It isnt that bad, except it ALWAYS to much....

Registring the Astra cost me almost 850euros...

Razorback, What we're talking about is not the registration fee, but the import tax. Before a new car can get it's license plates here in Denmark, there's a tax of about 160% on top of the manufacturers price that has to be paid.

That means that cars are roughly twice or three times as expensive as the rest of Europe, and that applies to used cars too of course (market mechanisms).

When importing a used car to Denmark, you have to pay a similar tax - not the full 160% of the manufacturers price when the car was new, but a tax that is determined on the basis of the cars' estimated value at the time of import. Similarly, you can get some of the tax back when you export a car to another country.

The cost of getting license plates for a car in Denmark is about 1500 DKK, i.e. some 200 EUR, but that's more of a fee, and not much worse than some other countries in Europe.

I think you have a similar car tax system in Norway, and I know that the tax rate is somewhat lower than the Danish rate. Netherlands have a similar system too, and their rate is even lower yet.

But I though how much, in Euro, is the sale price for the Murena!  ;) I asked before the discusion about the taxes, (if somebody was answered at first time, this missunderstanding couldn't happend  ;) ). Or another way: how much is 1 Eur to 1 kr ?

1 euro = 8 norwegian kroner  ;)

Have just been speaking to Ulf in the norwegian Matra club, and the Murena was actually sold just a few days after it was put out for sale.

Congratulations to Roger with his "new" Murena.  ;)
