I belive that there is a limit to how old the imported used car may be. However i do not know for certain exactly what the cut-off is. |

I was llooking at re-registering my car (Irish) in the Czech Republic.
I was told that you could not re-register a car in the Czech Republic if it was more than 7 years old.
I send an email to the EU authorites as I could not believe that they could do this as the car is in perfect condition and has passed it NCT (yearly technical roadworth test).
This is part of the reply I recieved
Before registering your vehicle, the Czech authorities will check whether it is type-approved. In addition, if the vehicle is not a new one, they may require it to undergo a roadworthiness test. The registration procedure is not harmonised at Community level. In other words, different procedures are applied and different documents required in the various Member States. However, national rules must comply with a number of principles under Community law. Type-approval procedures are carried out by national authorities to ensure that a vehicle complies with the technical characteristics (for example, safety standards) required by law. Vehicles that have been type-approved are issued with a Certificate of Conformity. Type-approval procedures have already been harmonised across the EC for individual vehicles (i.e. those with seating for no more than eight passengers) since 1 January 1996, but in certain cases, national approval procedures remain. You can find out whether your vehicle has undergone EC or national type-approval from the car documents or from the manufacturer. If your vehicle is a model which has obtained EC type-approval, the Certificate of Conformity issued by the Manufacturer is valid in all Member States of the European Community, and the national authorities must accept it. If your vehicle has obtained national type-approval, the authorities in the country in which you are applying for registration may refuse to accept the national Certificate of Conformity only (a) if it can be shown that the vehicle represents a serious hazard to road safety or the environment, and (b) the decision is properly justified. The fact that your vehicle may have technical characteristics which differ from those prescribed by the national rules in the country in which you wish to register it does not, in itself, constitute a sufficient reason for refusing type-approval and registration. At any rate, the type-approval procedure may not cause you unreasonable delay or excessive cost, nor require you to obtain information which is already available in the documents at your disposal. Roadworthiness tests are designed to check on the physical condition of your vehicle. The authorities in the country to which you are moving may require it to undergo a roadworthiness test in order to check its physical condition. Under Community law, though, such checks may be imposed on an imported vehicle only where they are also required for national vehicles. In addition, such tests may not be stricter for imported vehicles than for vehicles of national origin. Registration procedures have not been harmonised by the EC, so it is up to each Member State to specify the documents required for vehicle registration purposes.
Hope this helps |

Thanks Norek!
Someone told me yesterday that the limit had to do with specific diesel types, but this appears incorrect in light of what you have posted. |

Ok, update.
Yes, you can do it. Czechs are allowed to import one vehicale a year tax-free so best to get a CZ friend to help out. The car must be 'deregistered' in Germany and issued temporary plates so it can drive across the border. The one must re-register the car in CZ.
I also talked to 5-6 guys /in the know/ regarding whether one can really save money this way. The short answer: Unless you have some good connection in Germany, the savings are probably not worth the hassle.
I'll add more to this later. Truck's gotta make his deliveries. |

I just saw on the Final Word last week that the law will change on July 1st regarding importing old cars will change. Now apparently they will let you bring in older than 8 years vehicles.
Apparently it is not so hard to get the temporary papers to drive it back across the border. It just involves that to municipal offices. Get the temporary registration and insurance.
I am looking into this as well and will post here if i learn more. |

This was on the radio.cz newleter
[[[[[[[[[[[[[
The Czech Republic is among a group of countries that, the European
Commission says, make it difficult to import used cars from other EU
states. This is despite the fact that new regulations come into effect
on Saturday that are to liberalise the import of older cars. The EC
accuses the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Austria and Luxembourg of violating the free movement of goods by introducing tougher conditions for used cars from abroad than for local cars that are just as old.

mayeb it means that still not better to buy in germany - if there is some CZ regulation they r compaining about |

Truck,
Sounds like a good sideline business venture.
Hire an Expat who is fluent in czech and has resident status to do the bureaucratic work of registering the imported vehicles.
As soon as the cars get within two years of the 8 year registration limit sell them and use the money to buy newer ones for your airport shuttle business.
Should you find that the demand for cars/vans from Germany is good enough to make a lucrative profit make a second "standing leg" of your sideline business venture. |

Well first thing you need to look for is how old your car is. If it is more than 7 years old then it is not possible to re-register in CR. And try to consult to Any Cr transport divisional office. They can properly guide you through the process. |

There are so many do's and don'ts when it comes to buying a used car. In fact you have to take care of a lot more things than you do when getting yourself a brand new car. So be prepared before you start the car buying process. Try to get as much information as you can from reviews, from your near ones and compare options. |

I don't think its a good idea at all. Lets say you have checked everything and found that the car will pass the checking of CR authorities. And then you need to pay the taxes which is not at all a small amount and re-register it which again will cost you pretty much. Considering the price difference I don't think you can save much. |

Hello everyones,
Me and my girl are from France and looking closely this topic cause we found a Tatra truck in germany we would like to import and register in Czech Republic.
We looked before to register it in France, it is clearly not possible to do it here and we also looked a little in England where it is maybe possible.
Our goal is to be able to travel with our Tatra truck in Europe and over the world legally.
The truck is built in Czech but from Germany, old as 1985 and as I see, it's not possible to register it in Czech Republic cause the law regarding this don't have changed untill this day right ? |
