Law / Costs for importing a car from Germany to Poland. [34]


Eu nationals do keep their cars in the UK for years in a row. I know loads of french people in the UK who've been driving their french registered cars for years.

The trick is that the moment EU border control stopped stamping other EU nationals passports, the aforementioned laws became void and obsolete cause that shifted the burden onto the authorities to prove that a car has effectively stayed over 6 months in 12months.

You can be fogiven for thinking that this can be somehow sorted out for the UK is mostly an Island but imagine a place like Luxembourg, right in the Schengen zone, where loads of german, french, dutch and belgian nationals hop in and out for periods of time of various lengths for work and otherwise.

Insightful and comprehensive. Thank you.

Ton, with the euro having gained 20% vs the pound and even more vs Zloty, u might be way better off ordering a new car in either currencies.

Now going for "bargain" second hand luxury cars is a bit of an issue. Very few are willing to pay €50K+ on a second hand car cause u never know whether the car has been tinkered with and at that level of money, u would want a full blown garantee from the factory and nobody else. In Germany, most owners who get their new porsches stolen, refuse to take them once they are found, on the ground that the car might have been tinkered with and ask the insurance company to get them a new car instead.

If you are willing to part ways with €65K, u might as well play the exchange rates smartly and get urself a new car.

You can get the car insured, and u must do that anyhow, for a short period of time (A week, a month etc).

Given ur car is rather expensive, i'd suggest u get it professionally checked by Audi themselves. That's your best garantee. You must book the date well in advance though as they usually are quite busy. A cheaper option would be to get ADAC (the equivalent of the AA in England) to check it for you . That wont be thorough but usually goood enough.
