Does anyone have a rough percentage guide to gauge the difference in price between GA aircraft sold in the US and those sold in Europe?
Cheers!

The basic rule of thumb is that whatever the cost in dollars in the USA is will be a similar price in Sterling by the time it arrives in the UK.
Probably more now that the cost of an EASA C of A has increased.

It's easy enough to research US prices. Look at Barnstormers/ Tradeaplane/ Controller web sites, assume about 10% haggling margin for the sale price.
Add to that the cost of ferrying or dismantle-container shipping-reassembly, VAT etc and you may find a lot of the difference evaporates.
You may find a good deal because of the state of the market, but you need to tread carefully and do your research.
