RHD - Right Hand Drive Cars - Sales Sources in Europe.
Right hand drive used cars for sale in Europe.
There are always a large number of second hand used right hand drive cars offered for sale at well under trade price in Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Italy and other European countries. Because they are right hand drive, they are difficult to sell as no one wants them locally. There are also right hand drive accident damaged salvage cars for sale in Europe. Right hand drive cars are often sold at well under market price in Europe and can be something of a bargain. Be aware though, that rhd cars offered for sale in Europe can have a dubious history which is also difficult to trace.
There used to be a source of right hand drive cars from British armed forces personnel based mainly in Germany, but this more or less dried up following the end of the Cold War and the subsequent reduction in the number of troops stationed in Europe.
Check out all documentation and registration papers carefully. There are many vehicles out there with forged paper work. Normally the vast majority are offered legitimately.
Often, a family has moved from the UK and after some time they buy a left hand drive car. The dealer takes their right drive car in as part exchange and then tries to sells it on quickly, normally at a cheap price, just to get rid of it, clear it out, so to say. Sometimes someone has bought a car in the UK and tried to register it in their own country but found it too difficult or impossible, so the only option is to sell it for whatever they can get for it.
I have known many people who have made a great living out of buying rhd cars from Europe and selling them in other countries, particularily the UK.
New right hand drive cars
The days when it was possible to buy new right hand drive cars in Europe at a cheaper price than in the UK have gone. Two factors have caused this. The first is the exchange rate. The GBP£ UK has decreased in value significantly over the last few months against the now much stronger European currency of the euro.
Secondly, car manufacturers have been forced to offer similar prices throughout Europe by the EU Commission. This had led to a gradual reduction in new car prices in the United Kingdom. Prices of new cars in the United Kingdom now more or less matches the price of new equivalent left hand drive cars on the main European continent. So now cheaper right hand drive cars are available in the UK.
