Hi,

My parents are retiring to France & are looking for a 2nd hand lhd - it is best to buy in the UK or Belgium - but I am having issues finding cars for about £5k.

Kia Sedona, Citeron C8, Renualt Scenic - can anyone help?

    Hi,

    Yes but it is actually cheaper to buy a 2nd lhd car here or in Belgium - than france ...there are lots of uk companies that specialise in that ....

    Are you sure about that, they will have to pay import duty and other import related payments, as well as the grief involved.
