Benek - | 12 31 Oct 2007 #32it costs about $1000-$1300 to ship a car from the US to Poland. So it's not that bad.

peanuts - | 1 5 Nov 2007 #37New cars are about the same as the rest or Europe, and rather more expensive than the US. Used cars here vary, but generally for up market cars it would be safer to buy elsewhere. If you import from the rest of Europe, there is no VAT as it is normally paid in the country of purchase. From the US you have to pay 22% VAT. There is also a import duty of 3.1% on cars up to 2000cc and 13.6% for cars over that.Does anyone here know what the actual procedure/paperwork required is?

db1874 7 | 227 3 Feb 2008 #41Does anybody know if I can avoid the local taxes..?depends on what country you are importing the car from and whether you have owned that car for at least 6 months and can prove it.

Nuisance_Value - | 2 2 Apr 2009 #46the prices are dropping fast in poland at the momentAbout time too, I've noticed second hand car prices in Poland seem expensive compared to here in the UK. I've also noticed a lack of quality stock (Mercedes/BMW/Lexus etc) so perhaps this is one reason for the higher prices?A couple of years ago I looked into buying a Merc SL500 over there but couldn't find very many and the ones I did find were not in very good condition and also seemed expensive compared to RHD models.
Guest 9 Apr 2009 #47I live in the states and have a 99 porsche boxster, automatic. it has around 75k. any idea if it would be in demand in poland? what about the custom tax for bring in used car from the US? any suggestion is appreciated.Zack
Guest 5 Jun 2009 #48hi.. can u tell me how much it cost you in total including shipping and taxes in poland
nauczyciel 5 Jun 2009 #49the prices are dropping fast in poland at the momentoh really?? i paid 167,000PLN for the 08 model of my car, and the 09 is 218,000PLN. Nothing is different between the cars.Poland increased the taxes on motors over 2 litres.I'm seeing the gas prices on the rise as well. Up an average of 1PLN / litre since November.
ShelleyS 14 | 2,893 5 Jun 2009 #50About time too, I've noticed second hand car prices in Poland seem expensive compared to here in the UK.Thats because we have left hand drive cars so therefore no use really other than on our island, whereas in Poland they can sell their cars to other Europeans as they all drive right hand drive cars, I know you can convert a car but that's also costly. I thought being a man you would have understood that ;0)

spike - | 3 1 Aug 2009 #53Hello,Where can I find a recent list (2009) of new car prices in Poland (+ dealers)?Does someone know which website?Thanx in advance
spike - | 3 1 Aug 2009 #55Thank you Polonius!Do you also know similar sites of new car prices in other countries?Finland, Greece, ... or other countries?Thanx in advance
GregKelly 1 | 15 2 Aug 2009 #56Prices of used cars and bikes are expensive in Poland compared to UK or ireland, where the prices have dropped drastically.But they are also expensive in Germany.Polish people buy crashed vehicles and bring them back to poland and repair cheaper, so there would be a good perchantage of repaired cars and bikes on polish roads.There is no extra VAT if bought in EU.If bringing a vehicle from UK or ireland, to poland, it has to be changed to left hand drive, and in a lot of cases, it does work out at a good price for the buyer.You only need to bring the vehicle documents including the receipt for money paid,and get them translated, and get MOT or NCT (TEST) on the vehicle.A vehicle from outside the EU will have extra taxes and VAT to be paid.
spike - | 3 2 Aug 2009 #58Thank you Polonius and GregKelly,I am looking for a database of new car prices in Poland.Someone who sells a database of new car prices.Can somebody help me?Thanx in advance
Nuisance_Value - | 2 16 Aug 2009 #59ShelleySI think you're a little mixed up. Firstly, Mainland Europe drive left hand drive and in the UK it's right hand drive.I was wondering why cars in Poland are expensive. They drive LHD in Poland just like the rest of Europe and the production of LHD vehicles vastly outweighs RHD. Manufacturers build more LHD cars so there is much more stock and the rules of supply and demand would suggest that this would depress prices because there are thousands more of every single car model to choose from, but it doesn't in Poland, cars seem to be more expensive there, so why is this?This doesn't take into account the ease of transporting and importing cars across Europe e.g. you could buy a LHD car in Italy and drive it back to Poland, which means there is the whole of Europe to choose from when buying a car, so why don't Polish people buy cars in a cheaper country and drive them home?We are unable to do this here in the UK, we only have here (and South Africa, Australia & New Zealand though shipping and importing costs make this non-viable) to buy our cars from and yet prices seem cheaper than in Poland.
ShelleyS 14 | 2,893 16 Aug 2009 #60Mainland Europe drive left hand drive and in the UK it's right hand drive.Of course we do, but Im the female that wrote L and R on her hands when taking her test! my mistake :(
