Who the hell in his/her right mind would import most US cars into Europe? I've lived in Europe off an on for the past 25 years, so you "ain't" talking with the "average" Yank. There are many Euro cars we don't import here into the US. Getting spares for a Renault, TVR, Peugeot, even Fiats do not make it sensible to do so. And then, finding a tech to work on them is another story entirely as well. In Europe I found ONE guy who could do the diagnostics on a Corvette while living in Southern Italy and he had the equipment to work on them because he owned both a ZR-1, and a convertible. |
