Just bought a new (used) car! Got a good deal on a '97 Toyota Corolla Touring driven around 65k miles, not bad for a 10 year old car. Plenty of space for gear, could probably fit all the gear my band uses in the back :). Its also a 4wd, handy for the winter.

Don't have pics yet, but here is one just like it, except mine is bright green.

Nice rig!
:thu:

Are cars expensive in Iceland? (I know that sounds like a 'duh...' question).

 

I think so, not really sure how it is compared to the US. I payed 3000$ for this one. The price for a new Toyota Corolla is around 30.000$.

Yes. Welcome to our side of the pond.


Then again, the dollar is at ~0.73 euros so everything looks mighty expensive to you Aymerricuns.

 

 

Yeah, since they make Corollas in a country that uses the Euro...

In Norway it is closer to $50.000 USD.

 

A Fender American standard J or P is around $2500 over here as well. :cry:

That doesn't matter now, does it? They just calculate everything in such a way that there's the biggest mark-up for dealerships and middle men :D

DAYUM!!!

 

I would hate to ask what an LS460 (Celsior) costs over there, if a Corolla will set you back 50 g's.:eek:

That's even $100,000 more than over here.




....



Get it here, I say
:D

 

Half of the price is tax and VAT, so it's not really a lot cheaper to get it anywhere else.

 

Anyone want to guess what, hm, for example a Ferrari 612 is over here? :p

They start at $150,000 up to $180,000 for the 'president' edition.

 

Similar here, start at $160,000. Norway have always been our number one contender in the battle for what is the most expensive country in the world :D. I think they win this round :p

$700,000.00 USD?

 

My mom was just in Norway- spent three weeks there visiting an old college bud (yeah old-they're both now in their mid-70s) who married a Norwegian back in 1955 or something like that.

 

Anyway, except for the dollar being worth {censored}, she said it was one of the most plesant long term trips she has ever taken. She really didn't spend a ton of money, as she was a guest of a friend for two weeks and then did Oslo on her own for a week. My mom's in great shape!

Something like that, yeah. Was you mom just in Oslo, or up north and to the west coast as well? Oslo ins't really a nice place, but the north and west coast really is.

Yes north of Oslo on the coast about half-way up the country. She told me the name of the town/small city/area, but I forgot. When she wakes up I'll ask her again.:wave:

Mytola, where are you in Norway?

 

My Mom is from Oslo, I lived there as a child in the 60's, loved it.

Spent most of our time at my uncles place in Holmenkollen, and Frogner Park eating fresh shrimp bought at the waterfront. :love:

 

We (the relatives) still have a summer house up in Flisa, near the Swedish border.

Her friend lives in Hermansver. Showed me pics of that and a place called Floro as well. Whole lotta fjords, Mi Dei!

 

She also went inland to Lillehammer where the winter Olympics were held, plus a bunch of other towns and scenic places.

 

I thought she liked Oslo- she said it was OK. Copenhagen was the best of all the capitals.

 

After Norway, she went to Stockkolm, Cop., then she got on a huge cruise ship and visited Helsinki (only OK), St. Petersburg (A+), Tallin, Gdansk/Gdynia and on and on. Lucky mommy!;)
