Welcome swak,
I like you could not Afford a UK car due to an ex-wife,
So I imported one for a lot less.
You can read the links above, but the main thing to remember is to only deal with a company you can trust, as you need to hand over money before you see the car, talk to past customers and ask for references, There are larger companies that you can see the cars before like the Bristol Import Centre but the saving is less as you pay when you buy.
You can import yourself through a broker like I did (I have known him for years) and save a lot of money, I did the bidding on the internet, paid the VAT, Shipping and import duty and finally the SVA test. and his cost was £500
Any help just post your questions
And once again Welcome
