Don't you then have to pay the difference between the price here and the UK price for a similar car or have I missed something
thumper said:Important tip: register the car with the revenue people at the beginning of the month (not the end as I did) or you will have to pay that months road tax even though it wasnt in the county. Didnt mind paying 14.5k in VRT but having to pay road tax for a whole month when it had only been in the state for a couple of days that month, really annoyed me. Wrote a letter of complaint saying I was being penalised for being honest but have not heard anything back yet (no surprise). Anyhow best of luck
This sounds like a very sensible and efficient approach, provided that you're dealing with a reputable dealer, i.e. someone you can trust enough to have your money before you actually take possession of the car.thumper said:Once I was happy with the car, phoned my bank to transfer funds to sellers account (you also get a better exchange rate depending on the amount).
