if you've a car you like its worth it - im going to ship my 2003 focus estate diesel - heres why its worth it to me:
I know the car history - lot of dodgy cars here, read gumtree etc, so many cars here that are 'brilliant' and in 'great condition' just need a new engine etc - hows that good condition - plus as long as you keep re-registering the car here without gaps - it will technically never get tested!
i couldnt buy a car here thats anywhere near as decent for what it costs to ship it
my focus does 50mpg wayyyyy more efficent than most here
