What, being £4k out of pocket?

Right say you get a 172 for about 11500 (import) you have to pay about 300£ for an alarm so say 11800£ Now I think you could get a 172 UK car for about 13500 from a UK dealer with no p/ex. So thats a 1700 £ saving but you have the hassle and worries of trying to get your warrenty etc and when you come to sell it you will not get the same price as a UK car, and as for private I know I wouldnt touch a import unless it was about 2 k less that UK price, and also everyone knows you paid less for it and wont give you anywhere near UK price. I know the guy with the BMW 3.0 D thing will come on and say he got a good price for his import BUT thats offset with buying a very expensive car.
