Default Buying a Renault 5 GT Turbo in Germany

Thats the point

Once Im very satisfied with my current Opel Vectra 2.0 in terms of reliability but not very sportive, its very clear for me that the next second car is going to be a 90s turbocharged hot hatch.

Here in Spain there are two options, a renault 5 GT Turbo which costs 2500€ at least although the car is rusted, exhausted, in very very bad conditions....even here people are able to pay 6000€ for a GT turbo

The second option consists on buying another equivalent one (the hot hatches fiat and lancia, or the ford hot hatches; I mean, the Fiat Uno Turbo/Punto GT, the Lancia Delta HF Turbo, the Ford Escort RS turbo, or the ford fiesta turbo) for half of the price; but my favourite car is the Renault 5, and other cars never will be the renault 5 although the purchase is more sensible

As a result, and having a look at the german car sales websites, Ive realised that its possible to find a equivalent renault 5 GT Turbo for 1000€

Considering that to lower the car kilometers is seriously punished in Germany, the car revisions are more severe in sites such as TUV, normally there is more culture in terms of car maintenance with the proper spare parts and so on, I think that its worth going to Germany on holidays, get the car, change the car owners name, get the proper documentation in order to be a road legal out of Germany, get the car to Spain in truck, train or whatever, and so on......that at the end of the day its cheaper buying the car in Germany rather than in Spain

What do you think about it?, perhaps for many people the idea is a bit crazy and risky, but IMO its worth the plan considering that you are going to buy just the renault 5
