Law / Vehicle (from non-EU) registration in Poland by foreigner after driving for 6 months here [11]

our car is almost 10 years old

If stopped and found out that you are driving a foreign registered car for longer than the allowed period while residing in Germany you will face charges of tax evasion.

When you say "residing in Germany" do you mean living there, or just being there (for instance for a holiday from Poland)? So does it mean that if we don't register the car in Poland, it's better not to access Germany on that car at all? Germany is located on the way to other EU countries and it's a problem..we love travelling

Law / Vehicle (from non-EU) registration in Poland by foreigner after driving for 6 months here [11]

Dear expats, need your experience in following question. We are moving to Poland from non-EU county, coming by car and going to obtain Karta Pobytu there. I can't find reliable info on car registration procedure after 6 month of being in Poland. Some-one says it's not obligatory for foreigners, others mention that the car can be arrested and customs clearance applied, especially if you drive to other EU county for a holiday, as traffic police pays special attention to foreign cars and you will be probably stopped for documents check.

Is there any-one driving a foreign car after 6 month period?
Also I wonder if going home and back to poland by car "resets" the timing?
