Used LC500s Sales Offers in Europe

[Rabbers]

Looking at the Autoscout.com site this morning I thought LC500 owners might find the following information on the geography of second-hand sales of their cars in Continental Europe to be of interest, not least because the listings presumably also directly reflect sales since launch.  About 60 used units, mostly with low mileages, are currently listed for sale Europe-wide.   More than half of them are German-registered, and the numbers offered in Holland and Belgium alone exceed those of France, Italy and Spain put together.  The hybrid model is virtually non-existent outside Italy (where the V8 is heavily penalised by bhp-linked road-tax), with the V8 being by far the more favoured in Germany - and Holland - where sales of the hybrid appear to have been close to zero.  Frankly I don't know what to make of this, since, apart from the fiscal constraints accounting for low sales in Italy, I would have expected a more homogeneous picture.

I would hazard a guess that Germans like driving very fast on their Autobahnen

And the Dutch and Belgians like driving fast on German Autobahnen

I think that’s probably correct.
