Perhaps it's not import tax, but there is some kind of tax payment (BPM?) which would be very high (why are used cars in the Netherlands are much more expensive than in Germany, almost double the price that they are in the UK??)
Private motor vehicle and motorcycle tax (bpm)

Before the BPM was calculated over catalogue price with different tarifs for B or D engins. It is a registration tax. The amount of BPM to be paid for a used car is totally different from new. You were looking for Toyota B between 1991 and 1997, the bpm to be paid will be 0% or 10% depending on age of the vehicle that you would like to register.

Thanks for the information, but that doesn't seem to agree with what is written here:
Calculate the bpm for a passenger car
This is nothing about purchase price, it's purely a tax on how polluting the vehicle is. To be honest, this English version of the site is pretty confusing, but I remember working the BPM out for a diesel Hilux, when it became over EUR 20,000 I closed the site and gave up on the idea.
Now let's say the CO2 emissions are 224g per km (this is for the 2.4 petrol Hiace, with the same engine as the RZN173 Hilux), that's at least EUR 12,539 in taxes, probably 200% of the purchase price. And then there will is the 'turnover tax'.... shocking.
The site is confusing though, all the rules seem to be for delivery vans (they keep on about delivery vans for some reason) registered after 2005. But then it says cars over 25 years old pay no bpm (I heard this has recently changed), so that leaves a 15 year grey area...
No wonder everyone cycles here

But as a result..................we have the cleanest carpark in the EU, also not so bad.

There are several websites where you can calculate the BPM on forhand. Best to use is Autotelex, becaus if you a small fee in the end, it will print all the document you need to do the proces of importing.

Thanks, but it won't process either model as they are not listed, and there is no CO2 emission data for vehicles of that age.
There are things in the Netherlands that compare favourably to the UK, but anything to do with cars or taxes are not one of them!

OK, I did look up that model (even though it is the 1.8, the 2.4 is not listed), and reached the same 0. But below it says (translated from Dutch):
This indication is based on the above information, including CO2 emissions and therefore not exact. This indication no rights can be derived. For an accurate calculation of the BPM are required additional data, this can be selected in the subsequent steps.
To me this means that because they have no emissions data, the BPM cannot be calculated?
Surely there is a reason used cars are so expensive here?
For example, a colleague of mine recently bought a 12 year old BMW 316i, 160,000km for EUR 2500 (!). In the UK this car would be £800 ish, and in Germany I doubt it would be more than EUR 1500.
I don't want to start an argument, but I don't believe it will be cheap to import and register a car here, and pay the necessary taxes, whatever they want to call them.
Registering a car abroad is fine, but as I am a NL resident it would be illegal for me to drive it here
