This brain washing shows in the used car market when comparing it with the used car market in France as we have recently been doing. The prices for used cars I was informed is higher in France and yet from my searching the results are that both Audi and BMW it seems are actually cheaper than here in the UK.
We began expanding the car search in case we could not find LHD Rover 75 is suitable spec and condition with BMW and Audi being the last two makes to be looked through. The impression that I personally have gotten through this is that the used car buyers in France do not seem to have been brainwashed as they have been in the UK. The brain washign seems to have taken it's hold in some of the Eastern European new member states of the EU though with at least the Polish and Latvians worshiping both Audi and BMW cars . The Poles might be explained by the fact that it seems that BMW have plants producing parts and cars in Poland .......................... Hmmm looking at MBM's own site there is no mention of Poland :-
But then it also forgets to mention China or Holland yet both produce BMW's how odd!

I think you will find that the top of the range cars might be a bit cheaper in France as the French have no money,----
All the bread and butter type cars are dearer than in Britain by quite a margin.
Personally I always return to Britain to by cars for myself or my family over here.
I've spent most of the last 25 years here in France and the last 14 years permanently here.
So this is sort of------On the spot info.-------
