Buy used right hand drive car in UK
Hello guys,
I'm a French man but I'm gonna move to UK next July, then I need to have a transportation vehicle. I'm considering buy used car at local or import from Japan, because I found a Japanese site where I can buy right hand drive cars for sale at a very cheap price. If anyone has experience in importing used cars to UK, please give me some advices. Or please give me information of importing used car agencies in UK. Thank you. |

Unless you are a Japanese car enthusiast looking for a specific model, there's no advantage to importing one from Japan and you'll find buying a car locally much cheaper.

Used cars are not expensive in the UK, best to buy one a lot cheaper than freight to send one over.

Yes indeed, older cars are much cheaper in England than in France. Perhaps half the price.
There are any number of sources. A favourite ruse of friends of mine is to approach a car repair business (that does not normally sell cars) and ask whether they know someone who is selling a car privately. If the repairers have a decent reputation then a car that they maintained and which is now surplus to needs is likely to be a better car than one chosen at random. Car tax laws have changed in recent times and police increasingly use number plate reading devices so it is much more difficult to buy a car privately and drive it home so as to later arrange things like insurance than it was even a few years ago. Basically in a private sale you pretty much have to have the seller deliver it to you (or your car repair garage) as contrasted with you collect it from them. |

Unless you want something out of the ordinary then you will find something suitable. There are used car supermarkets in most areas of the UK that specialise in the second hand market. Why don't you ask on the french forum of BE? Sometime people moving to France would like to sell their RHD vehicle when they leave. HTH |
