How do i get a cheap car from poland?

how do i get a cheap car from poland? talking about the exchange rates, make the pounds worth more. all the polish immigrants do it - go to poland, buy a car with money from uk. really clever. just wondering about the tax? maybe not worth it. any ideas?

Answers:
If a ringer, stolen and unreliable used car with no guarantee or reliable history, left hand drive and more expensive than the uk, then Poland is the place to go.

Buy one, and it probably not pass the SVA test.

Poles, generally buy used cars from Holland, Germany and Belgium, because they're much more reliable and cheaper and more regulated.

New cars are substanitally cheaper than the uk, but worse spec (economsed for the Polish market), UK VAt is payable is purchased from new and car is less than 6 months old. No only that you would be able to claim your Polish VAT, but doing this without any Polish language assistance is hard.

My overall opinion, not worth the hassle, and more expensive. Go to Germany or Holland instead.
Where there's a will. I'm sure you'll have something too polish sitting in your drive soon.
Drive it across Europe & through the Channel Tunnel.

Course, if you wanna be serious, best change down to euros beforehand, go to Poland, bargain a bit, then drive your car home, or get it delivered. Then get it registered for tax, insurance, etc, in your name over here - & you should be ok.

PS - don't forget to POLISH it regularly.
just bring it over as a import its simple and just register it on the uk data base
Hmmm, now you got me wondering what kind of cars that they have in Poland that people would go to all this trouble.
Hope it's worth it for ya.
As far as I know, most polish people don not go to Poland to BUY cars. They go there to SELL them!
If you bought a car from Poland, you would have to pay import tax on it, and then you would also have to pay for it to be registered and taxed in this country. Added to which, because it is 'an import' you might find that the insurance is higher.
The reason you see quite a number of Polish registered cars is that they are registered to addresses in Poland, but as with any overseas registered car, they officially can only be in this country for a maximum of 6 months before they need to be re-registered with British plates.
steal it
