A lexus LS STARTS at like $55K.

Yeah euro car parts are too expensive. Buy Japanese. If you look at, perhaps Magna sedan would be a good first car. Some very cheap, very good deal. Notice tons, which is still on the road.

I totally agree with Lotus GT1, and because the generation is being too much concerned with their car and its luxuries it is obvious to see hikes in prices.

If you're not a European you'll find it expensive!

Not necessarily, as there are many online discount parts supply sources. For example, parts for my BMW are often cheaper than teh same parts for Hondas. Also if you belong to an owner's group, you can get discounts at dealerships as well. I can take up to 20% off parts and service at my local BMW dealerships by being part of the BMW Club of America. That makes maintaining and repairing my top of the line BMW 740iL an inexpensive proposition.

I heard Greece gets cars for free as Germany figures out how to pay for them.

Seriously I find some European cars excessive in price such as some VW's but then again I find some American made vehicles excessive in price. My concern is resale value. If the vehicle can maintain it then it is worth more to me as a buyer. If its a Range Rover or S-class then I will wait for a previously leased one to come available.

I am an european and i always envy american costumers that could buy easely a Mustang or Camaro, for the same amount of ash in Europe you could buy a Smart or an Opel Astra...
I am talking about the price that american cars have in america and european cars have in europe, for a fair comparison.
