How about crisis?
I'll bet even in western europe number of new cars sold is decreased. So there isn't such a big number of "left over" second hand cars
P.S. Cars like your example [in LHD form, of course] here costs twice as much, exceptions being ppls who need money fast or who are leaving this country. But u probably know that LHD cars in continental europe aren't so cheap as RHD in UK.
