My thoughts on the Dacia Bigster pricing...
Got a quote from a dealer for the Dacia Bigster of €36,900 for Expression trim, the 1.8-litre hybrid version. I think they are pricing themselves out of the market . Why is this car so many different prices all over Europe (and believe it or not we are in Europe too).
Sorry but just short of 40K for a Dacia doesn't compute to me!

Hi John,
Unfortunately, it's not possible to compare pricing in Ireland with that of other countries due to different tax schemes in operation. Our VRT system, for example, greatly increases prices of new cars here – and not just Dacias.
For what it's worth, we think under €40,000 for that Bigster is decent enough value. It's a lot of car for the money and a notable step up from the Dacia Duster. There is a lot of choice in the segment, though, so make sure you shop around. Even so, the Dacia is well-priced.
