Probably still not worth the hassle when you look at the road tax!

Yea it is unreal. You have to own for at least a year I think and is a bit of an ordeal. I imported my A4 (big mistake and long story) and have to provide bank statements, electricity bills, all insurance and tax records for the time I owned it and all sorts to prove I had the car in the UK and was not importing for some dishonest reason. You are right as well you have to keep a year then after that. I did not have to pay the import on my A4 but the annual road tax is eye watering now. I need the car at the time though and was too busy to change cars, again though big mistake.
