Very true rusty, spares are a joke here as well. I recently had to put a new eu headlight on the FZ1 €420.00, I could have got one on ebay from the US for $180.00 and I think that included posting. It is cheaper for me to buy tyres in the UK and pay for them to be shipped out here.
I drive an old 1.8 TDI Ford Focus 2003 it is in great condition and had less than 50kms on it but I think I still paid about €3000.00 for it. Don't get me started on insurance. I have max NCB they wanted €670.00 for fully comp, screw that 3rd party only with med cover and recovery, which I believe is compulsory here €157.00 I was not even paying that fully comp in the UK.
Thank God the sun shines here nearly all year round and a bottle of Gin is €9.00.
For all my moaning I do love the life out here.
