    Clueless car buyer here - Planning on buying in the UK in September, quick question here if anyone has the time.

    Is the Definitive guide from years ago still relevant? From what i gather this is the modus operandi i should approach this with:

    * Research Car and calculate VRT (correct NOx values etc)
    * Find the specific car and get it checked by RAC
    * Book flights/hotel and ferry for coming home
    * Organize dealer to collect me from the airport
    * Pay with Revolut
    * Ferry Home
    * Visit tax office and pay the VRT (unfortunately).


    Any tips is much appreciated, just for context i am planning on purchasing an Audi A5 Sline between 2013-2014 for between 9-10k(Sterling), hopefully. If any of you have an reputable dealers who specialize in Audis please send them my way.

    Cheers

    Research the NOx, could be circa €2k extra, 135 mg/km would add €1,975 and then VRT also, unlikely to be worthwhile.

    Euro 6 engines from September 2015 onwards so NOx on those would be much less.

    Thank you.

    It's coming out at over 3k euros for VRT. Total cost may end up around 14k all in. I'll have to rethink

    You’ll need to tax the uk car too.
