i bought a car from LT and I am happy with it.
I did know what I was buying (US salvage import but fixed well).
I did a proper dealer check, VIN history US check, test drive check etc. you need to take this very seriously and do proper check-ups/tests (and spend money on this). Yes most of the cars out there are fixed but quality varies tremendously as sometimes they aim to sell them in a German market (esp. powerful new "weekend fun" models :-). Because of TuV rules they fix them very well.
the newer model the car the better since the parts will be new as well. you need to have good understanding/rapport with the owner when you buy. i would even advice you to get a local expert and pay him.

you do not need to pay import taxes as both countries are in the eu. you would need to register though in LT after passing some tests (~300eur) then just get it to the Netherlands (either on a truck or drive it)

In the end I bought an F32 at 50% comparable street price in western Europe. I can't complain.
