used car sales

At the beginning of July, we are moving from the UK, firstly to the house we own in France for the next year or so and then on to Portugal (PT). 

I'd like to buy a LHD car sooner rather than later, primarily because PT levies extortionate import duty on any car brought into the country, which has been owned for less than 12 months.  Residents in PT can bring in one car each, provided it has been owned for more than a year, exempt from this duty, which often equals the value of the car.  The cost of cars, new or used in PT is prohibitive.....my recent comparison of a particuilar new Hyundai Santa Fe model came out at £28,000 for the LHD UK import, 39,000€ in France and 55,000€ in PT!!

Anyway, my dilemma is whether to buy a LHD import in the UK or to buy in France.  I'm not inclined to buy new anyway, but I was wondering whether there are any websites, like Autotrader, where I could get a feel for the level of prices for used cars in France.

All other suggestions welcomed!

Many thanks
