What would generally be cheaper; UK cars or imported cars?

Question

I have to do an article about the problems facing the UK car industry.

By imported, I mean cars that have been made abroad but are sold in the UK.

Answer 1

Imported cars are usually costlier than home-made cars because the government has protective tariffs on the imported goods to protect UK businesses from outside companies. This makes the imported cars costlier.

Answer 2

This will be a very very short article.

There is no UK car industry.

a few specialist ,low quantity people like Morgan still exist

You can get real bargains in restored cars, like a Morris 1000.

Otherwise, double spaces and repeat yourself may make it look more.

lots of pictures from Gaydon.

Answer 3

Imported cars can be cheeper but usually have different safety standards.

Parts are more expensive due to shipping charges and servicing is usually more.
