  Best to buy in the UK? 26 Apr 2001 (News)
  An analysis of 7 million prices shows that the new car market is clearly defined: * 16% of models are cheaper in the UK when compared to Europe * 4% of models only deliver a negligible benefit (less than £500) when bought from importers * 25% of models are more competitively priced from Europe * 54% of the entire inventory is only available from UK suppliers, who offer the consumer greater choice * Importers only supply 0.5% of all automatic models available Steve Evans of Car Price Check says the results show that dealers only use the manufacturers 'list price' as a benchmark for discounts.
