hi everybody.

long time lurker, first time poster! this is the best mini site i've come across and if you guys dont know the answer to this simple question then nobody does!

the list price for a base spec mini cooper is €24,500 here in ireland. the same car costs €16,000 in germany (for those of you who are not resident in ireland the €8000 difference is the tax that irish people have to pay on cars imported into the country).

what i would like to know is if any of you have bouht your right-hand drive car from mainland europe, was it difficult to buy the vehicle, etc?

perhaps you could point me in the right direction, as so far i've found next to nothing online.

cheers, and thanks for your replies!
