cs Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I am driving a 2 year old right hand drive Renault Modus and have decided to change it for a left hand drive new or nearly new Renault Modus ready for our retirement to France in a few months time. I will sell the rhd in the UK. Would it be cheaper and simpler to buy a left hand drive and french registered Modus in France or get a left hand drive ordered in the UK and re-register when we get to France.We are in 53, Mayenne.Thanks in advance for all replies received.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Driver Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 New UK spec Modus Authentique 1.5DCI list price is £10,205 ( approx 15,500 euros). You can get a quote for a LHD version from [url=http://www.renaulttaxfree.co.uk/index.php]Renault Tax Free Sales[/url]. Delivery (costs extra) is quoted at 12-14 weeks..New French Modus Authentique 1.5DCI list price is 14,350 euros.You can buy the UK car VAT free (less 17.5%), then pay the French TVA (19.6%) on arrival in France so the additional 2.1% makes the UK sourced car even more expensive to buy and export to France. The alternative would be to buy the car VAT inclusive and run it for six months/6000kms before exporting it to France.Clearly, buying a French car is less hassle....
