If you’re considering buying a new car, you’ll know that it’s one of the most expensive purchases you’ll ever make, apart from your house! With brand new vehicles, costs mount up when you add the little extras such as metallic paint, leather seats, and air-con, which can result in your dream car being too pricey for your budget. If this is the case, consider left hand drive vehicles London. A LHD can be purchased much cheaper if imported from overseas using a reputable dealer, even with the additional cost of import taxes and duty.
The most obvious difference with a left hand drive vehicle is the steering wheel being on the opposite side. This will take some getting used to but once you’ve mastered it, you may find you actually prefer the driving position. If you’re importing a LHD vehicle from the USA to the UK, the warranty may not be valid. It’s important that you check this before starting the import procedure; it may not be worth the hassle! If you’re importing a LHD vehicle from Europe to the UK, the process is slightly different and the warranty may actually be valid. If it is, then you are fully entitled to return the vehicle for repairs to any manufacturer’s dealership within the warranty period.
Also, consider the insurance for your new vehicle. Many companies won’t insure left hand drive vehicles so you also need to check this out before you start. Do your research and make sure the policy is exactly right for your needs – shop around and get the best possible price, ensuring you notify the insurer of any modifications to the vehicle beyond the fact that it’s LHD. So, start looking for left hand drive vehicles London now – you’ll be surprised at how much you can save on a new car.
