UK Prices, is buying from the UK viable ?

sppr · 12-31-2018, 01:10 AM

Hi there, prices for a used i8 are the lowest i've seen in a European country so far. For example:

A 2015 bmw i8 with 35k miles at about $57k. I am looking to buy from Zurich and the price for the same car there would be 67-70k. So, I am wondering, has anyone bought from the UK and transferred to another country ? Are there models that drive on the left side ? And was it worth it in terms of price and effort ?

Thanks !

That's a cat S pal. It's been structurally damaged in an accident. If buying an i8 buy approved with a bmw warranty. Still cheap, mind.

Hmm, didn't notice that yes. It looks like 53-55k is more of the UK norm then. Makes sense.
