Why not put a JK there instead? You can pick them up for a couple bucks from the forum store.

I have a 2007 Sport as well. There is no X in Europe, or not in the Netherlands as far as ik know. Not much to customize either. No lockers no tow group. We used to have a High Sport; that' Sport/X with airco (yes airco is an option over here) and power convience group.

I suppose it has to do with the small market segment overhere; they have sold 12 JK's the Netherlands last year. Because of all the taxes we have here, a 4d Sahara will set you back about 60000 euro's (that's almost 80 grand). So the Jk is not your average student driver...

You've got to be joking ......... aren't you ?????? Thats over £50 grand
Got my New Sahara last year for just £11,850.00 ($18,000.00) which included £2000 'old bangers' Govt allowance and £9,000 Chrysler UK discount.
Couldn't resist
New ones now currently going for approx. £24,000 ($36,000 inc sales taxes @ 17.5%)
I think you need a revolution......

Yeah, when I was a backpacker living over in Germany (about 15 years ago now) I bought an old car for about 400 bucks and thought "wow; cheap transport". Went to register it in my name, & was horrified to find out that all the taxes, charges, inspection reports, pollution tests, compulsory insurance, etc would have cost me something like well over $3000! (and this was for a rusted out old 1980 Fiesta hatchback), so God knows what it would have costed to put a brand new car on the road with insurance. And then on top of that gas costed like 3 times what it did back home (that's why they're all diesels over there; the nice big V8 Mercedes & BMWs are exported to cheap-gas countries) And from memory, Germany was considered cheap for car ownership costs compared to other parts of Northern Europe including Holland and Scandinavia.

I think sometimes here in relatively "low tax" countries such as Australia & the US we forget how expensive car ownership is in many countries, where only the very wealthy can actually afford to buy & run a motor vehicle.
