Premier Cars specialise in high end vehicles like the X6. They have showrooms in Burmarrad, Gzira and Zebbug. Don't know anything about their quality of service.

You can also try Gauci Automobiles in Birkirkara and Emotion Imports in Santa Venera.

If you buy in EU and import the car you will have to pay the very high registration tax.

Malta expensive but if you do what the Maltese do and purchase a car in Gozo its cheaper apparently you get a better deal. I was advised ro do this.
Theres a much higher rate here to purchase a car than any other european country, pretty much because theres no one regulating the EU compliance with the Maltese government.
Main website is Malta park for car sales but you may find these out of date quite often.

Second hand cars are much the same price on Gozo or Malta. Its difficult to judge because you need to compare car for car and each car will have slightly different mileage, trim level, history ect but I have never noticed any great price difference.

If anything you should be able to negotiate a better price in Malta as there are more second hand car showrooms and more competition .

i think its not what you know its who you know in my experience. Certainly between the people ive met in Maltese circles its who they introduce you too and where they take you that you discover these things. Been quite an eye opener.

Car hire firms are also聽 a good source of second hand cars, they tend to sell some off at the end of each season.

They may have a few small dings but the price will reflect that.
