Business Potential

I'm bidding away at the moment on the auction site.
I lost one today by 300 Euro, a nice silver 99 manual GPX with 37K miles. It was only grade 3 out of 5 though so don't mind.
I bid 13,500 euro on the road here (worked all customs, VRT, tax etc out to get that figure)

Anyway, assuming my importing goes OK I would consider going through the hassle of of it again for a profit. Do you think there would be a market for 1998 upwards FTO's in Ireland for about 14K upwards Euros?

Possibly, but not a huge market. Dealers won't stock FTOs as they take a while to sell, insurance is prohibitly high which doesn't help. In saying that, theres a serious lack of newer FTOs on the road, I think that Joe Soap buyer would tend to want to buy newer models.
Theres only one way to find out!

I think theres an awful lot of people importing at the moment dont know if theres any money to be made in it, Im sure youd be happy to run the car yourself if it didnt sell though!!
