Trevor Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I'm thinking of taking our 25 yr old Peugeot 205down to the S of France to live from October onwards. I shall have to insure it shortly just to make the journey and be available if needed here in the meantime. It's value is about £100. Any thoughts on the best way to go about this? (e.g. a day return on the ferry seems cheaper than a single - also is it poissible to get a single back with Ryanair or do I have to buy a return?)

Cendrillon Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 "................ also is it poissible to get a single back with Ryanair or do I have to buy a return?) "This is certainly possible, booking a one-way airline ticket is not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Driver Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 You also need to factor in the costs of registering the car over here:French type approval certificate - 120€, CT certificate - 56€, LHD headlamps - £££?, prefecture registration fee - 66€, new number plates - 20€. ..... More than the car is worth, so unless it has plenty of life left in it, you might be better off selling it/scrapping it in the UK and buying a little runabout locally.

Trevor Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Its only got 45,000 mls on the clock so has years of use in it, especially at the less than 1000 a year we would use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
