Kibkom North Cyprus Forum

Hi can anyone recommend a good shipping company to ship a car over from England, and give us some idea of the cost as we are very new to this, and have no idea at all where to start. also the cost of the import duty and does it go on the size of the car engine, any info will be much appreciated thankyou .. chippie..

The cost is stupid I have PM you with info

I have tried to PM you twice but for some reason its not getting sent

Dolphin shipped a car over for us it was around £1400 in September 2011. The tax & duty are horrendous that is why cars are so expensive here, we paid nearly £7000 on a car they classed as a 1300 cc. The bigger the engine the more you pay. As a rough guide whatever you pay for a car in UK costs twice as much by the time it is on the road here.

Unless you are wealthy, don't even think about it. Forget Glasses guide etc., value is usually based on "think of a number and double or even treble it" We didn't even bother and some people have really been hammered.

Agree with the postings so far. Importing is expensive.

Vehicles purchased either new or second hand in North Cyprus are also expensive compared to the UK.

Wether you decide to import or buy locally be prepared to bite the bullet and pay.

Vehicles are advertised on this forum or you could post a note saying what you are looking for and maybe someone will have same for sale. Occasionally if someone is returning to the Uk and just wants a quick sale or to get rid of a car there may be a bargain to be had.

Alternatively this website will give you an idea of what you get for your money. You will be shocked at what the prices are when you look at the age etc. One good thing is that they dont rust and also are slow to devalue.

Good luck

Hya folks many thanks for your much appreciated info, looks as if we will be looking around when we are next over, like you say we will probably have to bite the bullet, if we decide to go down this road, once again thankyou all.
