It may be cheaper to buy NEW in Germany ..
but in my example, second hand prices are not much cheaper..
I bought a 2001 Hymer B644 from Becks, a reputable UK dealer with a full dealer warranty (not insurance)
It cost me £19k.. low mileage, one owner.. full service history.. immaculate.

the first four are slightly cheaper or about the same as I paid.. . the others more expensive, . add the cost and time of going to Germany , bringing it back, having it converted to UK spec. and registering..and MOT.. and if you have a problem, having to go back to Germany for warranty work.
It 'may' be cheaper buying new or nearly new with a pan European warranty.. but older vans outside manufacturers warranty.. I don't see the advantage.. financial or otherwise..
Q the Judge who will prove me wrong.. and of course this is a small sample.. and just one model of van..
