[Help!!! Do I buy a car in England or France]

Thank you everyone for your help.

I have decided to buy in France. Mainly to avoid hassle but also because I believe cars retain their value here so whilst I'll pay more I think I'll get a greater percentage back of what I paid when I sell.

So thanks again

I think my tendency would be to run a car as long as possible. Buying cars is not my strong point.

I suppose I wonder if people thing the financial saving is significant or not. I'll already be in the UK - so have to get back anyway.

Thanks

Thanks for that.

Yes, I think the CofC are a rip off. Fancy having to pay a vehicle manufacturer a lot of money to say their vehicle (especially a French one) conforms!

Yes, I realize it's a hassle and that there are other expenses to take into account but is it worth it for the saving?

I knew that really. But thought I'd ask anyway.

Thanks for your responses.

I have just sold my vehicle and am considering my next move. Do I buy a car in the uk - (seem much cheaper)second hand and bring it over or do I buy one here in France (seem very expensive)? I'm really not bothered about RHD/LHD as I am used to both. I have Euros.

Any advice, experience etc... very, very much appreciated as I know nothing about cars at all. Thanks

Thanks Sunday Driver

So I can only recuperate the TVA if I'm a business.

What if I'm just an ordinary worker?

[importing a new van from UK tax issues]

I'm sorry if this issue has been covered before. I am considering buying a new kangoo van (two seats) from the UK and importing it into France where I am resident. I won't be paying VAT on it in the UK but will be require to pay TVA. I have noticed whilst searching on French site that TVA may be "recuperable" on utility vehicles. Could that be the case for a new one imported from the UK.

Thanks so much for any advice.

Hi

I'm the original poster.  Sorry that I've caused a bit of a row!  Anyway, just curious what's the objection to the KYMO.  I've seen good reviews on the internet.  The seller is asking 1250 euros for a bike owned just by him, registered in 2006 but it's only done 1250km.  Is this not a good deal?  I really know nothing about scooters whatsoever and am looking for advice.  I want a scooter to be more ecological.

Thanks again

Thanks for responding Mel.  What are you getting?

After thinking about it for a bit - I think I might need something with a bit more power - 125cc I think.  Does anyone know if there any legal limitations in France?  Would a 125 scooter be ok for doing longish journey of 50km or so?

Thanks for your time

I don't know if this the right place, but I'm thinking about getting a scooter.  Does anyone know anything about this particular model?  Will it be fast enough to get round the country roads?  Any adivce gratefully received.

Thanks

Hi

I have a gite in France but live in the UK.  I receive payment in sterling.  Where do I pay tax?  Also does my gite need to be registered with the local Marie?

Thanks in advance
