The best place to import from is Germany. Here in the Netherlands the prices are insane as you noticed,. Don't forget the BPM import costs.

German cars have a TUV which is much more strict than our APK. but still, go there, get it checked properly by a professional. you probably have to pay some garage 300 euro to get it properly inspected.

Better spend that money, even if they find faults, its a way to talk down the asking price, you will earn back your 300 euro you spend on the mechanic for sure.

Remember that most cars in Germany and so on the milage has been altered, and finding out the truth is hard, the service booklets are often faked, best to call the garages that you find in the booklet and ask if they had the car in, and what the milage was at that time. , often those garages say they never saw the car, or that the milage was way higher, germany doesen't log the milage like in the Netherlands.
With some tools like Carly you can read the milage from all on board computers, sometimes the guys cheating on the milage numbers don't update it on all modules and you can catch a cheat like that.

Goedkoop = duurkoop.

Good luck!
