Always approach used cars with caution and get them checked.Always approach used UK cars with caution and get them checked
...Also, I understand all imported vehicles have a special sequence number range issued so it makes imported cars stand out, which I suppose is the object of this new initiative.
The system has changed,so for example if I imported a 1974 Capri into dublin,my reg would be 74 D 120001 (or whatever the next number after 120000 is available).
Different counties have different starting numbers,but all are high.
Pitfall are the same as buying any car. If you know the UK reg you can do a check on the car. As for the mileage, I'd be cautious of any car from the UK that did NOT have relatively high mileage. Given that people tend to do a lot of motorway commutes, depending on the type of car this need not be such a bad thing on better roads.Hi all, would anyone on AAM have any concerns about buying an imported UK car ,from a local garage which has been in business for 20 years,(not a dealership)?
They are members SIMI,been around 20 years,will do all the VRT/Registration,are offering a 6 month warranty.
Are there any potential pitfalls?
Price is good, mileage is high enough.(But Im fine with that )
Should a HPI check be carried out,even though they are giving me a full service history?
Are there any issues when getting the car insured/taxed,once all the paper work has been done?
Thanks in advance...
