Hi,
I'll be coming to Warsaw to study for 2 years and I'll be needing a car (not just for city driving where I can use public transport often) but traveling home after x months or short trips elsewhere.
I'm from Serbia and thought of few ways to do this:
1. Buy in Netherlands or Germany and register it there in friend's name(who is a citizen) and drive it like that with an authorization paper(forgot the word for it)
2. Drive my car from here but I'd rather not out of fear of it being stolen and our insurance here is ****. Foreign cars are more at risk of being stolen but I guess n1 would also fall under this, but its generally cheaper to buy abroad, register too probably, not sure about the insurance.
3. Buy and register there on temporary basis since I'm not a resident, which from what i gathered can be a long and annoying process, and I'm well aware of Polish car salesmen and all their scams, which are also as common here.
What do you guys recommend I do, what's the best way to go about this? I probably don't know about some law that will stop me from doing some of the options above so hopefully you fine folks can enlighten me :)
Serbia is also not in EU if that matters.
