    I will be moving to Portugal in the fall and would like to buy a Prius in Europe. What are they selling for in Europe? In the past, the best prices were usually from Belgium. Is this still the case? Any help would be appreciated.

    The Prius price in Portugal starts at €28308. This price is about to increase, due to tax changes. Things in Portugal aren't that good at the moment. Even so, the Prius has a 40% rebate in the auto tax (Imposto automóvel). Without this, it would be much more expensive.
    Why are you coming to Portugal, if I can ask?

    Thank you very much for the pricing information. I also found similar pricing information on the yahoo group for the European Prius.

    Regarding moving to Portugal. I have had property in the Algarve for about five years and plan on moving there full time. I've lived and worked in Europe before and I've always liked living there.

    Regards,

    Richard

    Always Algarve. Hot, many beaches, the biggest Portuguese tourism destination.
    Be careful with the sun this summer. Temperatures might reach 40ºC (104ºF) and more, like last year - highest last year: 45ºC in Beja (113ºF).
    Nevertheless, it's a fine location. But not the only!
    Regards.

    Currently, I live in Las Vegas. As I'm writing this note, its about 36 C and it can easily hit 40 to 45 later in the summer. I know heat. However, my plan is to spend most of my Algarve time in the fall, winter, and spring. Summers may be in New Zealand which is their winter!

    I've travelled a lot in southern Portugal, but as yet not in the north. When I move there I plan on traveling in the north and doing a lot of exploring.
