If I'm translating it right that's about £11300 for a 130k mile car

Worth more since it's one of the 50 LHD Swiss Trophy's I guess?

Love the cloth seats!

I must say I was quite taken by the seats......at least they match the rears

I've sold a 182 some years back where a chap travelled from France to buy it, the prices we practically give em away for its no mystery

Used cars in the UK are incredibly cheap as is road tax.
I was looking at an '04 182 in the Netherlands for a friend- asking price was nearly 6000 euros and road tax for the year a snip at 680 euros a year. The car was an utter shed that had been imported from the UAE and had terrible sun damage on every panel and the dash. So the dealer offered to cut as a special deal at only 5000 euros.

The Swiss never got the V6 spoiler, They got the Cup as per car in the advert.

Good comment on the spoiler, I didn't know that. It does look a bit of a poor alternative

Can any used car dealers or someone with an economics degree shed any light on why our used cars are so cheap in comparison to those on the continent?

Simple supply and demand. Nobody in the UK wants old cars, most people just go from lease to lease these days and the ones that don't won't pay much for their cars.
Also it's a limited market, there aren't that many places that use RHD vehicles and nobody from LHD countries want them.

I'd take those seat over the ones we got all day long!
