Where are you based north or south.
Its no riskier than buying from over here or the UK IMO..
The costs will stack up though
Add car price FOB (free on board) or CIF (Complet including freight)
21% Vat plus 10% Eu Duty Comes to 31% of CIF Price
Add Port Charges
VRT
Other unfactored costs (maybe quay rent etc)
All in all go for it, i used to buy auction cars but i go through private sellers in Japan now. Auction buys can be a gamble but the risk is worth it in my opinion....
