I read the 3rd paragraph down , can someone shed some light on this for me! What are the changes that are being implemented!

*Charges in the title should be changes*

#2Something to do with emmission standards.Many older cars may not meet the standard so will not be allowed into the country.The price of 2005 or later cars should be no more expensive than what they are now.

#6IIRC, "Grade" is the condition - from 1-5. I think a new car is 5.

#8Euro 4 is the emissions standard.Read it essentially as, 2005 models and newer.
