Hi All,
I bought a second hand fiat in Feb of this year and everything was fine... I got insurance and althoug had some problems with the car, nothing really major. My partner and I were looking in to saving some money the other night(as you do) and went onto a car insurance comparison site... When outting my details in the site wouldnt pick my reg plate up. Eventually when it came to getting my quote, most wouldnt quote because my car was a parallel import(whatever that is) and the ones that did were ridiulous amounts. This is 1.2 fiat stilo and they wanted me o pay almost £1500 pound for insurwnce. I guess what I', asking is should I have been told at the point of sale that the car was imported and is there anything I can do... I'm assuming I should et in touch with my current insurer and tell them but I'm really worried my premiums will rocket...Any advice would be great xxxx
A parallel import is a car bought in from another country but with a UK spec.
A popular place for parallel imports is Holland where prices are cheaper. It is now much easier to buy from abroad but there are still drawbacks.
Buying may be cheaper but when you go to sell, you won’t get as much as an official UK model.
Savings available on European new cars depend upon exchange rates, and you may find specification and warranty packages are less comprehensive than UK cars.
bought used car...didnt know it was import
