    Ski Bum Car for Europe - buy used then sell

    Does anyone have experience with this? As a non-citizen is it possible to buy a used car or van and then sell it when you leave? Trying to have a car to get around to other ski resorts. Ive seen a program for buying new cars (ideamerge) and then selling it back but the cheapest option is like 3k for 90 days.

    I figured I would keep it up until I was called Jong. Car and van fall into the three letter no search category so I couldn't find anything. Oh well.

    There was a recent thread about this. Don't bother. Buying a used car is a hassle for non-EU citizens when you factor in insurance and license. Long-term leases are fairly expensive. I would sack up and either use public transport or befriend a Brit with a drinking problem and a Passat. There are several in town.

    Rent a car for a powder week.

    Hugh, if you're humping her leg you're doing it wrong.

    When did I go from a Trusty to a dirtbag? I'm so confused.
