What are the disadvantages of buying a car imported from the Channel Islands?

Hi, I'm looking buy a Ford Focus and I found a distributor that sells low Mileage ~ 2000 miles, on average, from 2000 to 3000 GBP less than other brokers, it is said that the car is registered on April 9, and it is still manufacturers warranty until 2012. My question is: what are the costs I encountered hidden? What are the disadvantages of buying a car for example? Can there be problems with the warranty? Will insurance costs reflect the fact that it is an import? MOT any additional costs? What questions should I ask the dealer? Thank you Nikolay

There should be no problem on a car with such low mileage and a warranty. Check the warranty can be transferred to a new owner and get a confirmed not Ford seller.Some imports through the Channel Islands are cars designed for hot, dry climates so small under the seal is applied use salt as the UK and sand in the winter and many other countries do not.So ask a mechanic to check the car on the AA and RAC for both the state of the vehicle does not report these costs about £ 150 but can save a fortune if the defects are discovered.I do not think there would be a hike insurance on imports for as long as the UK specification, but you should check with your insurer and disclose the disclosure is irrelevant or may be a reason for denial of claims.
