French used car market?

Question

does anyone know if the French used car market compares favourably or unfavourably with the English market?

are their prices on 7-15 year old cars generally more expensive , or cheaper, or the same?

how is the cost of motoring in France generally with insurance and fuel costs, tax etc ?

Answer 1

Second-hand especially car business has always been quite "Mafioso". Keep your hands off...

Answer 2

Second hand cars in France are generally more expensive than in UK although 7-15 year old do level out. There are bargains now and again.

Running costs are a little cheaper than UK. Insurance and fuel (esp. diesel) are about 10% cheaper and there is NO road tax.

French bureaucracy can make changing registration docs entertaining!! A LHD normal car can be easy but a RHD Camper can be tough.

Look on Ebay under LHD or left hand drive for cars already on french plates.

Answer 3

i havent got a clue.
