Good idea, as u'll probably end up saving money on the original purchase price. Im personally toying with the idea of buying a few right now on the same idea... however, if you can find a transport company that you can ship it transport it down here. if you buy the car from a dealer in the uk you could mark it for permenant export with the dvla and the tax man, when you leave the uk you will get the 17.5/15% tax back. If you can then get here relatively cheap you will need to pay 7.6% tax on it at the douane into switzerland, + registration, service technique (mot - for which you will need to make sure the car has lhd headlights... )plates, insurance (cheaper than uk).

All that + insurance for a year shouldnt cost u more than 2000chf, depends on how much you wanna spend on the car in the first place. 7500gbp+ its probs worth it.
