If you want LHD then you - basically - have to buy from somewhere other than the UK What do I put here then? |

Thanks yes good info I think we will take the current one over as a hack and buy a newer one in France it would seem to work out cheaper to register or buy French |

When I decided to replace my Disco with a TD6 I started by looking in the UK & then comparing with prices here in France. For a start there were hardly any for sale over here & the prices were all over the place, from 8k for a shed upto circa 30k for a TD6. And of course France is a big country & most of those available were hundreds of KM's away, mostly in the mountains (which makes sence) But as it happens I found a good one about 50kms from me which though over priced by UK standards once I took into consideration of the trip to the UK, the chance of it being a wasted journey, the cost of bringing it back & going through the hassle of registering it and believe me it can be a hassle, I know I've done a few. Plus all the costs of registering & cert of conformity it just wasn't worth it. and of course its going to be RHD which is OK but not ideal. As for cost of ownership I do all the small stuff myself & get my parts from the UK. Of course when my gearbox went a few months ago it had to go in to my only local indy 200kms away! this job probably cost about 1k more than it would've done in the UK but what do you do?

Cars older as 10 years pay half of the reg costs, LPG cars pay only the CO2 tax (approx 300) once.
