Whether or not it is profitable to buy a car abroad is a controversial issue. It may be necessary to consider each case individually. One thing is for sure, if you want to buy a new car - it is better to do it in Russia, but if you need a used car - you can go to Germany.
It is necessary
- - international driving license,
- - Bank card,
- - Schengen visa,
- - the Internet.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, make sure that all documents and necessary things are in order: get an international driver's license, since ours, Russian ones, do not work abroad.
Step 2
Order a currency card from the bank. Remember that it takes time to complete, and it's best to place your order well in advance. Put enough money on your card to pay for the car, the required taxes and duties, transportation, the hotel, and a little more money for unforeseen expenses.
Step 3
Obtain a Schengen visa at the German Embassy. This also needs to be done in advance - German embassies and consulates are very scrupulous in issuing visas, unforeseen circumstances may arise.
Step 4
Study the information about what is the approximate cost of cars in Germany, what are the duties and taxes - many sites now offer such services, you can calculate everything on a ready-made calculator.
Step 5
So, you have prepared for the trip, now you need to find a good car. Browse the websites of major car markets and used car dealerships. Germany offers a lot of cars and, as a rule, they are of good quality. Choose several suitable options - so that there is plenty to choose from. You can resort to the help of a professional German dealer: they will pick up a car for you, draw up the documents and bring it to Russia. In this case, you will need to pay for the services of a dealership and rely on his competence and decency in choosing a car. The danger of getting a “drowned man” or a car with not very “clean” documents also remains. Taking into account all these factors, it will be more productive and calmer to drive behind the car yourself - the master's eye-diamond will see all the shortcomings and take into account all the advantages.
Step 6
After you have chosen the cars you like, contact the seller and make an appointment. You can get to the place by train or plane - of your choice, and you will return on your own wheels.
Step 7
Before the trip, decide in advance on which route you will return home. You can take with you an experienced driver who has already been to Germany about buying a car - advice will never be superfluous, and returning to "two wheels" is also easier and safer. Traditionally, there are two points of export of cars from Germany: overland Germany - Poland - Belarus - Russia or by water by ferry from Rostock to St. Petersburg.
Step 8
When inspecting a car, take your time, ask questions and bargain - this is normal both in the market and in the salon. The seller will draw up all the necessary documents, you will only have to safely and happily drive the car from Germany to Russia.
Step 9
At home, register your car with the traffic police.
