Used Cars in the UK - where to buy

I do not live in the UK, but I sometimes go there for business and I was wondering if I could buy a used Jimny and then come back with it to Poland. So I started googling for a good website with used cars offers, but I can't find anything reasonable. So - what is your first choice when you want to look for a used Jimny on-line?

And I mean a dirt-cheap, almost "dead" one, as I'd like to use it as a spare-parts repository. This also leads to the second question: when I buy a car in the UK is it somehow noted in any state administration, that *I bought* it? Or is it just noted that the previous owner *has sold* it? I've heard that it is possible to sell a car in the UK with no buyer's data on a contract - is that true?

I am asking as it is not really legal to dismantle a car on your own in Poland.

would have thought eBay was your best bet

as for how to complete the log book that we have in the uk you could go on the DVLA website and see if there is any information on there about taking the car out of the uk.

OK, thanks!

So you're saying you have no specialised country-wide on-line marketplace for used cars? Like autotrader.de / mobile.de, and the likes? Interesting

well yes we do but if you want one like you mentioned that is nearly dead !!!!
dealers won't pay for the subscription to advertise it on the likes of auto trader etc..

OK - that sheds some light

In Poland we have a strong competitor for ebay (actually I think ebay in Poland is mainly used for off-shore purchases) and they have their own marketplace for both dealers and private owners dedicated only to cars. (Pretty much like autotrader I guess, but it's definitely more popular here).

I'll look around then... Thanks!

A company called 'copart' might be worth a look,depots throughout the U.K.

below 1kGBP if it is an M13A cabrio;
below 700GBP if it is an M13A "estate" (I believe that's the word used to described this silly aquarium on the rear of the car )
below 500GBP if it is a G13.

I've found a few matches, I've also seen similar cars in Poland (imported from the UK) but then there's the importer's margin and in most cases they really care about the paperwork (a car without a right to register in Poland is ok with me would be considerably cheaper).

I am considering bringing the car by means of towing vehicle (or whatever you call the car that can carry another car).
And unless I really hit the jackpot (i.e. M13A cabrio for 500GBP) I am not in a hurry - probably it will happen next year.

Join the Jimny buy and sell groups on facebook (there are 2 main ones). It seems a lot of nearly dead Jimny's are advertised there. I put mine on there and sold it in 24hrs. The fees for Autotrader and Ebay put off most people selling cheap cars.

Also, all the cabrio Jimnys had the G13 engine so don't waste your time looking for a M13 engined one!
