Buying a car

How hard is it to buy a car? Are they more expensive than the UK? And Registration, MOT, driving license etc? What about if we take our English car with us - what problems might we face?

English cars have problems with the relationshift between gearbox and steering wheel in this country.

With the current rate of the UK pound to most other currencies on the planet everything is "more expensive by some margin". But until Gordon Brown took over, new cars were cheaper in Switzerland than in the UK...
