Feasibility of direct importing a Skoda? (or SEAT?)

[7hm]

So I was offered this proposition today by a PI since what I am looking for is "quite unusual", so they suggested I do a "direct import".

 

I like Skoda's value and classy (yet not so plain as VW) look as well as the fact that all their sedans are hatchbacks, so I am curious - how feasible, really, is it to bring in a car like that? Wouldn't it be expensive? Wouldn't getting servicing for it be tricky (well, parts can be sourced from VW though)? ...

What are your thoughts?

 

...And while I'm on this line of thought, what about a SEAT (also VW group!)?

Sounds like a Lada is perfect for you.

skoda shares lots of parts with VW group. make sure you get the 6spd wet DSG. e

TS,

 

does your mentioned PI have other cars in line that they can PI in??

 

Could trouble you to PM the PI detail if possible.

 

 

Thanks

silly qn: when importing a car - it's obtained from an overseas dealer and not direct from manufacturer right?
