JJ Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I have just purchased a Renault Megane which is registered as a commercial vehicle. It has only two seats so is in effect a van. I do not intend to use the vehicle for commercial purposes, just as a runabout with the dog and to the dechettereie etc.However, the Prefecture want to charge me 253 euros for a new carte grise as it is a commercial vehicle. I only paid 750 euros for the vehicle it, so 33% of the value does seem a bit steep.So does anyone know if that is right, or can I change the use of the vehicle back to a private car?Any help and advice will be gratefully welcomed.

BJSLIV Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 The carte gris costs a fixed amount per fiscal horsepower , plus in some areas a small additional charge for vans. the charge is halved if the vehicle is over ten years old. In Paris it would cost you the amount you mention for a 7 hp vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
