How to buy car in UK on-line?

First you can go to the biggest trading place www.autotrader.co.uk and try to find what do you want.In the upper left corner place the postcode of Southampton SO14 3QN and distance within 100 miles.




Southampton has been the UK's leading port for vehicle exports in recent years, it has four multi-storey car park type storage facilities. From this port your car will be shipped to Cyprus. Usually for  distance less then 100 miles you don't need to pay extra money for delivery to port.

1. Buy your car from dealer, don't do it with private seller.
2. Don't hesitate, ask the seller to show you all scratches, some of them are ready to go to the car with web-camera.
3.After you find what do you want, check the plate number in some verification system. The service is not free, but this is your warranty to know all history, real mileage, all calls to insurance company and financial status. 

Here in Cyprus you have to chose the shipping company for delivery, the approximate coast of delivery is 1000 - 1200 Euro, it will be included insurance and custom service. Additional payments depend of distance from port, in case of bad weather you have to pay for parking in the port.

Don't forget! In Cyprus you need to pay custom duty and registered fee.
The calculation of the excise duty for vehicles

For example:

A used petrol sedan vehicle is 9 months old at the time of its transfer to Cyprus from the United Kingdom and it has a mileage of 22.500 km. The cubic capacity of its engine is 1.789 CC and the carbon dioxide emissions are 184 gr/km.
The excise duty payable is initially calculated on the basis of a new vehicle and is thereafter depreciated based on the characteristics of the used vehicle:

  • Initial excise duty (based on a new car with CO2 emissions of 180 gr/km): €2.250 + (4 x €400) = €3.850
  • Excise duty differentiations for the used car of the example:
  • 18.50% reduction on the initial excise duty because of the vehicle age (9 months) and type (sedan): €3.850 x 18,50% = €712
  • 4,5% reduction on the remaining amount (€3.850 – €712 = €3.138) because of kilometers travelled over the corresponding estimated average for a petrol vehicle ((22.500–(15.000/12*9) = 22.500 – 11.250 = 11.250 km, 11.250/500 x 0.20% = 4.5%): €3.138 x 4,5% = €141
  • Additional excise duty €0.02/c.c.: 1789 Χ €0.02 = €36
  • Total excise duty payable: €3.850 – €712 – €141 + €36 = €3.033

Be careful with the information in LIDL's leaflets.

This mistake I found for the offer Thursday 22nd January 2015.
LIDL has no responsibility for printing errors or omissions.
I was going to buy 100% cotton bedlinen, but in the store was appeared that there is 60% cotton and 40% polyester.


Still I bought this set, because long time I was looking for this color.
