Finance rates/tax reclaim on 2nd hand cars?

After some trawling (that I'm generally rubbish at) looking for personal loan rates to buy a 2nd hand car. I've found Migros bank @5.9% to be the cheapest rate so far... unless some bargain hunting EFer knows of a better deal?

Next question, the car I have my eye on is hand left hooker in Blighty at a princely 35% less than the same model here... Before the haggling starts So, I know I'll be paying import duty on it here which is fine, but would I be able to claim any VAT paid (if any) in the UK back.

Thanks in advance, and mods think this is in the wrong place please move it

As private cars are not VAV deductible in the UK that probably won't work, unless it's a commercial vehicle which is.

I was thinking that FMF, last time I imported it was a Mitsubishi L200 and that was a commercial vehicle.

Migros still the cheapest place for finance though?
