Import

In the 90's, buyers could save a great deal of money by importing their new car from Europe rather than purchasing it in the UK. However, since the late 90's, European prices have gone up, whilst many UK prices have fallen, making many cars cheaper here than abroad.

However, importing is still relatively popular, and can be divided into three main categories: Grey, Parallel and Personal.
