  1. Well, since the Favorit never was sold in Sweden as new, then the only real choice I have if I want a Favorit is to import one. I have done some searching and found out that it's actually quite cheap (i guess) to import a car. You have to pay VAT (value-added taxes), which is 25% of the cars value in Sweden. If the car is newer than 6 months or has driven less than 6000 km, you have to pay VAT in both Sweden and the chosen country I bought the vehicle from. And since nothing other than a museum piece has less than 6000 km on the clock, I think it's unnecessary to look up the VAT in various different countries. Then there is some other things to pay. I don't want to translate the whole text step by step, since there is alot, but I can link to the site I gathered information from: http://teknikensvarld.se/importerabil/ (in Swedish, I can translate if needed). For short, it will cost approximately 3200 SEK, or 2300 DKK, 300 EUR or 270 GBP, excluding VAT, road taxes and the traveling part. And yes, a new MOT is needed, and included in this cost. It looks more and more tempting. However, is it hard to find parts? I've seen that they have gotten super rare. Is that because of a decreasing amount of spare parts? Would it be hard to keep a Favorit running in a country where they were never sold as new? (And is it hard to import cars from countries that aren't that popular to import a car from? Like from Poland, Czech, or maybe even the Netherlands, Austria, etc. (I haven't come across cars that are imported from those countries, although, the family's Mazda is imported from Luxembourg, but not by us). I have searhed but not found anything useful).
  2. Thank you so much everyoe for the replies! I have been busy with school, not able to write something here sadly. That is a lot of new websites to search for Favorits on! However, would anyone buy from Poland? (One very nice looking and cheap one that I've posted before: https://www.otomoto.pl/oferta/skoda-favorit-jeden-wlasciciel-od-nowosci-64000km-ID6zxEBz.html#633e920df5) Since Poland is so close to Sweden (via ferry) I think that it would be cheaper to get it to Sweden. Is that something to recommend or should I buy from somewhere else?
  3. Thanks for the tip! When I was looking around, I found a good looking example in Poland: https://www.otomoto.pl/oferta/skoda-favorit-jeden-wlasciciel-od-nowosci-64000km-ID6zxEBz.html#633e920df5 Is this something to consider? As in buying a car in Poland? Or even the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Belgium, Austria (if they where sold there), etc.? I've got some more info on the trim levels now, thanks Oh, and does anyone have any tips for websites that you can searh for Favorits in the countries mentioned above?
  4. Hello! I am in the market for a Favorit - but outside the UK. Since I live in Sweden, and Favorits was never sold new over here I am looking to import a LHD one from another country. Does anyone have any advice on sites or countries I should be searhing? And what model/trim is the one to look out for? Thanks
