ANTRIM, U.K. -- Buying a car from the UK, when you are not in the UK can be rather daunting. Whether you are a seasoned car buyer , or an individual buying your first car. However, considering the alternatives, you are better off doing a little background research and making a decision that will perhaps influence your entire future car purchasing actions. In the past, you would walk into your local dealership/ showroom and a salesman would help you identify a vehicle. The salesman (often a fast-talking chap) would encourage you to buy the car that your eyes would linger on. This would often be an overpriced, mileage tinkered vehicle that you have absolutely no previous history of. The car could have been stolen, involved in an accident before the local dealer imported and brought to the car yard where he intends to make an abnormal profit from selling it to an unsuspecting buyer.

With the advent of the internet, all the information you need about an item that you want to purchase is available at the touch of a button. From the specifications, reviews of the car in general to the particular car that you have identified.

Take the example of car like a 2009 Toyota Landcruiser with all the necessary upgrades. In Kenya, such a car would often be selling at around ksh4,000,000 (around £28,500). You can get the same car in the UK at around £18,000. Considering that there are shipping costs, duty and other miscellaneous expenses before you can actually drive the car in Kenya, the total cost would not be more than £25,000. Thus you are able to save more than £3,000 on just one purchase. Furthermore, you have the full vehicle history and thus have the peace of mind of buying a car that has been well taken care of by the previous owner

You will also realize that when purchasing a car from the UK to export outside the European Union, you are exempted from paying VAT on the same. This could be quite substantial considering that you are saving almost another £3000 from the example above (16% of £18,000)

If you are from one of the following listed countries, then you should consider buying your next vehicle directly from the UK:

Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Tanzania, South Sudan, Seychelles, South Africa, Srilanka, Jamaica, Grenada, Uganda, New Zealand, Australia and Greece
