Bringing car from the UK - Page 2

Look at a company in Basingstoke ,I think its called " Left hand drive centre",they have Spanish reg cars sometimes or will source for you .I bought my car from them before coming over permanently . When I part exchanged it a year later I got the price I paid in UK.They are very helpful and I personally would never advise bringing a UK car to Spain to leave here full time ,its just not cost effective in Taxes ITV changes to lights etc and being dangerous to (overtaking). Hope this is helpful.

I  agonised over this for ages.  It can be difficult to find a decent car in Spain for a  decent price,  but in pure and simple cost terms,  if you decide to go down the UK import route,  you need to budget about a further 50% over and above the purchase price of the car - so if you buy a little runabout for say,  £6K in the UK,  you need to set aside a further £3K to cover all the associated costs.  I personally didn't think it was worth all the grief.  Mind you,  the possibility of finding a  Spanish-registered car in the UK and then driving it out is worth exploring. The journey alone would be an adventure in itself,  although you would need to set aside about 3 days for that.
