trish Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Hi,could anyone give me information on buying a new vehicle in France. We own a French property but are not residents in France. What is the situation with regards to purchasing a vehicle and then using it whilst in England and also travelling to and from France. Would we have to re- register it in England and what are the vehicle tax implications etc. Our property is in department 44. Any experiences or advice anyone has regarding this would be gratefully received.Thanks, Trish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 It's easy to do so long as you have a French address and, maybe, a utility bill. The difficult bit is then staying legal in other countries; it all depends on how long you stay in the other country.Benjamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Is it going to sit in the garage in England and be dusted off for trips to France? Or are you mainly keeping it here in France and just popping over to England with it for the odd pot of paint and Marmite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
