If doing all the groundwork yourself proves to be a daunting task and
you have neither the time nor the patience to embark on such an undertaking,
a number of options are available and at your disposal. The most obvious
choice would be companies specializing in car importation. These establishments
take care of absolutely everything for you when importing a car, from
the paperwork to delivery. However, they may charge a fee on top of
the total cost of the car plus taxes, so shop around and compare prices
to get the best deal.
If dealing with stuffy import brokers are not your cup of tea, then
maybe you should head to the nearest Car Supermarket. Here you will
find a lot of cars and have the grandest of time choosing from all of
them. However, as they say, what you see is what you get. Car Supermarkets
may or may not have the exact model of vehicle you want. Prices may
be slightly cheaper but discounts and haggling are out of the question.
One more important point is that warranties on cars bought from Car
Supermarkets may be shorter than most British cars. It should be remembered
that manufacturer warranties are given on the date of purchase of the
car and not the date when you actually bought it. So your purchase may
have been on the stands in the Car Supermarket for a few months before
your purchase with the warranty already in effect.
Finally, a private purchase, or purchasing directly from an individual
seller provides the most savings, not to mention requires the most leg
work and effort in locating. Check your local listings for individual
sellers who wish to part with their imports. And remember, one man’s
garbage, is another man’s treasure.
