Importing Used Ford Galaxy 2006 (newer Model) Car Into The Uk

[Mark UK 75]

Hi,

 

We would like to buy used Ford Galaxy (2006, diesel, LHD) in Germany but we do not know what kind of costs we can expect after bringing it into the UK. The car will be used in the UK for more than 1 year so we know there are some head/rear (?) lights modifications needed to make sure it is safe for UK drivers.

 

Can you advise and give some guidelines on it ?

 

 

Regards, Mark

Why would you want to?? LHD cars on RHD roads are more likely to be involved in an accident - and you'll find your insurance will be higher to insure a LHD car. I could understand a rare sports car or classic but Its not like there is a shortage of Galaxies over here or am I missing something?

Hi Mirez,

 

We are not from the UK. We need a car for a temporary usage in the UK and we would like to buy it before we move to continental Europe.

That is why we need some guidelines.
