Is there a reason nobody is taking on this arbitrage opportunity? Such a huge price difference should cover the cost of transporting the physical car and leave still plenty of margin for everyone (including the buyer) to get a good deal.
- tetromino_ 3y agoThe arbitraged car would not be certified to comply with US/EU automotive standards, and therefore would be illegal to drive on a public road. You could only drive it on private land or put it up for display in a museum.
- multjoy 3y agoMost EU countries have 'single type approvals' - in the UK that gets you a vehicle with a 'Q' vehicle registration mark. More difficult to sell, harder to insure but in theory an EU spec vehicle sold without the CE paperwork should fly through the inspection.
