VRT exempt: should I import from the UK?

The question
I'm VRT exempt so would it be worth my while importing a nearly new car from UK?

Hi Gerard,
Almost definitely, yes. If you’re exempt from VRT, then buying a used car from the UK makes huge sense. You get more choice, often a higher level of spec and potentially huge savings on price. I say ‘potentially’ because there are obviously outlying examples where you won’t find such big savings, but depending on the car you can often save as much as €5,000 even when you DO pay VRT, so the savings without will be even higher (again, depending on the model).
