Will a RHD car supplied through TIC be exactly the same as a UK supplied car?

YES! The headlamps will point the right way, the speedometer will be in MPH & the specification will be identical unless specified otherwise.

Will the warranty be honoured by my local dealer?

YES! All main dealers for the relevant brand in Europe are obliged to honour the warranty on your new car regardless of where it has been purchased.

Are you able to supply Left Hand Drive vehicles?

YES! We are able to supply new and nearly new left hand drive vehicles either from stock or to order with UK registration or registration in most European Community countries.

How do I know that the payments will be secure & the car will arrive on time?

All payments for vehicle's purchased through TIC are made direct to an official dealership abroad. The purchase contract, which states the estimated delivery time,  is made between the client & the official dealership which means the entire purchase is as secure as from a UK dealer.

How do I arrange foreign currency?

Purchasing foreign currency is extremely simple & the whole process only takes a few minutes. There are normally two amounts you will have to purchase; the initial deposit on order and the balance on delivery. You can either purchase the foreign currency from your bank or use our official partner, Currencies Direct, who offer a complete service to our clients and usually offer superior exchange rates.

What happens if the exchange rate changes between the time of order & delivery?

We always recommend our clients either purchase the total amount of currency along with their deposit or arrange a "forward contract" to cover the final payment. A "forward contract" is an agreement made between yourself and a bank or currency trading company which agrees a fixed rate of exchange for the delivery date. Either of these options remove any risk of the exchange rate dropping and provides you with a fixed price in pounds.

Can you deliver the vehicle to me in the UK or abroad?

Yes, we offer a complete package which ranges from UK port delivery to doorstep delivery anywhere in Europe.

Who registers the car & completes all the customs documentation?

We do! Our prices includes our registration service which even includes a set of UK number plates!

Are there any extra taxes to pay in the UK?

No, the only tax payable on a new vehicle purchased in another EU country is the 17.5% VAT as is the case on UK supplied vehicles.

Do you take Part-Exchanges?

Yes and no. It depends on the type of vehicle you are purchasing so please ask your sales consultant.

Can you arrange Finance or Lease Purchasing?

Through our sister company we can offer various highly competitive options - please contact our sales department for a quotation.
