Romania was the most interested among Europeans in importing used German cars in 2006.

According to the German statistics, last year, Romanians bought 82,896 used cars.

However, in 2007, the number of imported used cars fell dramatically after the Finance Minister of Romania adopted the controversial law applying differentiated taxes on used and new imported cars.
