So the additional costs bring it close to where UK cars are being advertised (but with much lower mileage).

Have been looking at the US Spyder market for a while - for the same reasons as Ewan's friend i.e. primarily for use in Europe.
The conclusion above is fairly typical and it "
appears" a number of cars are sold around about when you could reasonably expect the clutch needs changing.
It can be troublesome getting confirmation of this though - got to advanced stages of discussions last summer with a US dealer only to find out the clutch needed doing.
This despite having repeatedly asked, however, the delay in discussions meant Storm Harvey hit Houston before a deal was done.
Think I dodged a bullet though as I'm not sure Marine insurance would have covered the car whilst sitting at the docks? Anybody know?
All I would say is, the same as any deal, but more so when overseas, don't take anything at face value.
