Hi,

im a newbie so plz be gentle, just been browsing the forum and read about people buying there DC5 from auction?

Just wondering if anyone could tell me how u go about doing this?

Has anyone bought a car and organised getting it back themselves?

Does it work out alot cheaper?

Sorry for all the Q's :(

Hi Rob

Yes it can work out cheeper to do it your self, but you need to know what you are doing, you basically save the importers fee, normally £500 to £1500, but do you want the risk and all the paper work :wink:

Another way is to use an importer and pay for the car in stages with an importer ie. Pay a Deposite, Once car got pay Auction price, then Pay shipping, Import tax, VAT and then the SVA conversion fee, SVA Test, and then the Importers fee, basically you don't tie up the importers own money, so you save :lol: :lol: I know Litchfield Imports does this.
