We’ll do everything for you and you’ll pay less for your car

Legally, you can buy a car from Europe on your own, but there are several possible pitfalls you should consider:

• You need to find a dealership and talk to them directly: you may not know if they’re a reputable company
  
  
• You're likely to end up paying well over the odds for your car. That’s because European dealers know we pay more in the UK so they’re well aware of the prices we're prepared to pay!
  
  
• You may not be given the exact specification of car you want
  
  
• You may incur additional 'hidden' costs imposed by the dealer for things like inward delivery, export documentation, paperwork, car cleaning and fuel
  
  
• You'll be charged the tourist rate of exchange for currency transactions. That’s 2-5% worse than the business rate
  
  
• If something goes wrong, you'll only be protected by the prevailing contract laws in whichever country the dealer is located
  
  
• You'll have to deal with unfamiliar export documentation so your car can be brought to the UK
  
  
• You'll have to arrange your own left hand drive insurance
  
  
• You'll have to make your own transport arrangements.
  
  
• You'll have to register and tax your vehicle in the UK
  
  

Alternatively, you can just talk to us and we'll do all of the above for you and you’ll pay less than you would for a right hand drive car.
