Importing cars from UK

[maxwl]

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but here goes.
I am wondering if is it possible to buy a new car in UK or NI without paying UK duty or VAT. Then importing the car and paying VRT and VAT here?

Does that make sense?

Thanks in advance.
Max

Thanks guys for your replies. Lot's of useful info.

Does anyone know anything about the UK side?
Is it possible to purchase in UK duty free for export.

Thanks again
