Is it cheaper to buy in the UK?

Is it cheaper to buy in the UK taking into account the exchange rate for the Euro?

Our answer:

Hi Owen,

Potentially yes, but it’s impossible to answer that on a  general basis, only on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis. it’s basically all about doing your sums. There are bargains in the UK that you simply won’t find here, and if you see one you like, then it’s time to get the calculator out. Do the currency conversion, allow for VRT (and allow LOTS for VRT), allow extra for travel expenses to go and collect the car and then if all that comes out at less than buying an equivalent model here, then you’re onto a good thing.

Our partners at CompleteCar.ie have come up with this guide to importing a car if that helps
