Buy A Used Car

Q.I have a question for the ones in the know... I wanted to buy me a Spector Euro 4. I live in France and found out that the best price I could find was about 50% higher in Europe (about 1700 euros) than in the USA (about 1100 euros). Moreover, the availability is scarse here : you have one bass here and there, but there is not much choice. One would think that a higher price would relate with a better service or something like that. It is exactly the contrary... There are very few Spector Euro 4 basses available here, not much choice on colours. It also seems impossible to buy the bass directly from the United States. I guess this is to ensure that you buy them from the Europe distributors. But, the choice is so scarse and the price being 50% higher, there is as much choice for a used one, rather than a new one. So it seems much more sensible to buy a used one here rather than a new one : as much choice and a better price. On a used one Spector gets nothing. I really don't get what is the scheme behind this...

A.The price you see quoted in the USA is not what you'd pay if you could buy as an import. Add shipping + insurance at around $100 Add import duty and VAT...minimum 20% plus whatever exchange rate the CC company feels like charging...and the warranty will not be valid outside of the country of purchase. It all adds up
