Life / Where can I buy a used car / bike in Lodz? [2]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know about where can I buy car or bike in Łódź?
also, which would be better option, I can understand the needs, but since I am living alone here , so I am kind of confused..

I have heard when buying car one has to be really cautious as few car sellers buy cars which had severe accidents, repair and sell them..

Regards,
Paritosh

Life / Is 10500 monthly is enough for a family to live in Warsaw Poland [136]

Gourav ,

As per your experience, which is of nine years,I feel you must ask salary anything above 15k

I do not know exact how much you should ask, but more than that I can say.
Renting a nice apartment in a good locality and new building would cost you something around 2000 zl. For gym, swimming outside the apartment, you wont be spending anything more than 400 - 500 zl (for both you and your wife).

Groceries can be around 1000 - 1500 zl for a month , may be less , but not more than that.

Hello gkandari

Since you have an almost 10 years of experience, you must really expect high
If you get a bus\tram pass, travelling is very cheap within the city.

Unless, some company offers your wife a job and pays for her work permit stamping, I am not sure if she can work.

DominicB : Is not it difficult to find right guy to help me with searching for apartments ? I mean a person can be con too, hope you getting my point. Also, if i am staying at a hotel, will someone in the hotel would guide me. Because logically I would not no any one there.

irishlodz: My company's office is in Warsaw and the client's office is in Lodz. It's kind of last minute change, that i need to work from Lodz now. That is why, I was bit tensed.

In the city centre there is an Indian store selling the food basics.

Do you know a name or most people would know about it and direct me there?

Also about the heating and everything ? I mean how to check the same?
What all should be in line or what all should i check before finaling any apartment?

I hope you get my point,
also as I see many have suggested that I should have one of the polish colleague with me when searching for a room, but just in case, if no one is available, what should i do in that case?

I have friends that live nearby just off of Rojna Street

Is it possible that they can tell if there are any indian grocery shop in Lodz

but not an especially vibrant one either

I think it is better for the living place to be calm.

Connection with the city centre is good - with several bus and tram lines (although they are very crowded)

Are these buses and trams always very crowded or for certain hours in morning and evening, is there any other mode of transport?
Do we have metro trains?

Also I would like to know if there are good hotels too, nearby?

As checked the place where I will be working is Oddział, Aleksandrowska, so is there any good location near this, or is it in the city center.

If there are direct buses to my office, I think it would be better that I can stay in a good locality.

As an Indian (guess) I'd avoid certain areas with higher youth unemployment and football fans. Perhaps the student areas would suit you better.

Could you please give more information on this?

Rents AFAIK for a 1bed/studio will be about 1500pln per month all in. There is rent + fixed service charges + utility bills that you will likely pay to the landlord. internet/tv you'll have to sort yourself.

Also, will this be fully furnished

Work / Moving to Poland to work at a company (Warsaw or Lodz). Average expense per month? [57]

DominicB
Thank you Dominic for the response. I totally agree to that, I am still negotiating with my manager, hoping to get a better pay, as I have some 20-30 days left before I leave for Poland.

Hoping that I would get the same.
Also, since this is my first outside country assignment. I am currently fine with it.
I am sure while working in Poland, i would learn more depths of SAP, which would help me grow.

One more question, I would ask here is that is there any website where I can give advertisement that i want an apartment , so that i may fix an appointment when I visit the country?

My company is providing me a week stay in Poland to find apartment

I agree - sharing a flat will be a problem with me, for security reasons as well as some where because I am a vegetarian.

And I assume there would not be a lot of vegetarians in Warsaw or whole Poland as I have seen few threads here on the forums

Hello

I checked that my gross salary will be 8000 PLN

Regards,

DominicB

May be, you are right but then I have to do it. I might not able to save much if you suggest that way. But seriously, I will have my hopes low, so I might be able to save a bit more than lets say 10000 zl a year.

Thanks for the information though.

kepler

Thanks for pulling me out of depression. but as you suggested that if you live with someone, you can save more.
I think I need to put another post of finding gf on this forum ;) :D

Harry

Please tell me, what will be the complete cost of a flat in Warsaw - assuming the utilities will be around 400-500 zl including czynsz

I am confused now.
I have accepted the offer to travel, so I do not have much of an option.

Also, assuming if I stay for a year , probably they would increase the payout for me and also experience would be great to be a part of a new culture.

I have seen few apartments ad here
bezposrednio.com/mieszkania,wynajem,warszawa

which means i will get apartment at the max 1600-1800 zl + utilities which usually cost around 500 zl ( at the max) + internet is cheap as i have checked few places (75 zl) for that

then transportation for 400 zl and 1000 zl ( which i think is over estimation ) for food .
So around 3500 - 4000 zl

cooking at home from scratch saves a lot of money, though it can be time consuming

I think since I will be alone there so I guess will have some time to cook.

Also, you are right , I will ask my Polish colleagues to help me with the house or will post an ad here itself, so if owner may respond and provide me the apartment for rent

Do you know this website?

Thanks for the website, it kind of sums up all the things - necessities.
I need to plan as to how much I will spend

Hello Dominic

My Medical insurance is also provided by the company , so i guess that expense i can remove
But I understand what you are implying here
I think I will be able to cook for myself 4 -5 times a week
so I can save a lot there
Can you give me some more information regarding rent agreement and other formalities?

michaelk

you are just one step away from becoming an SAP consultant yourself... ;)
