The question
Is worth paying €17,000 for a UK import of a 2014 Ford Focus Zetec 1.0 turbo 125hp? Any problem to trade in in the future?
Thanks.

Hi Shiu,
It’s an excellent car, but you’ll need to modify your own driving style a little to get the best economy out of the little 1.0-litre turbo engine. It is a terrific engine, though. You’re most likely looking at paying around €2,900 in Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) to import it.
There are a huge number of imports from the UK and we don't believe it will adversely affect the trade-in price in a few years time.
