01
Registration tax
It goes by emissions, not by purchase price: from 0 % to 14.75 % of the car value. Getting it wrong on a €60,000 car is an €8,850 difference.

What importing a car really costs
The figure that matters is not the one on the German advert: it is this one. Work out an estimate in ten seconds, without leaving any personal data.
Why you do not do it yourself
Buying abroad is cheaper. What puts people off is everything that comes after.
The car is the easy part. The hard part is the Certificate of Conformity that never arrives, the registration inspection that fails you over a headlight, the registration tax miscalculated, and the weeks the car sits still costing you money.
02
Homologation and inspection
Without a European Certificate of Conformity the car must be homologated individually: an engineer report, a technical file and an inspection that fails you over details nobody warned you about.
03
Shipping and risk
Between the transfer and the delivery there is a car that is not yet yours crossing half of Europe. Who answers if it arrives dented is settled beforehand, not after.
04
VAT and invoicing
Buying from a German dealer is not the same as buying from a private seller, and for a Spanish company that difference is thousands of euros in intra-EU VAT.
