CBBB - Many thanks, that has put my mind at rest. On the CRV registration subject, what factor does the age of car have? Mine is a 2005 model.

The older the car, the cheaper the road tax! Don't ask me why.

They’re worried about missing out on antiques…

I think its to do with engine emissions, but the older the car the more you pay.
I left my Beemer in the UK because it would have cost me silly money to bring it here, due to the "unique" registration system that operates here.
As someone else said you are advised to look at other forums to see what is the experience of other expats....

Its called an emissions fee now, but in reality still an import tax as emissions plays only a small part of it, the bulk of the fee IS based on engine capacity hence my previous post on you bringing anything over 1650cc

A 2.0 engine 6 month old engine could bring a duty charge of €3200 then reg costs and Ro Ro costs, an older car with big engine more on duty.

There are many differing stories regarding bringing a car with you to Cyprus, our experience on bringing a small car was fine, others I know were not.

So if admin allow this is the email address of a very good clearing agent in Larnaca, ask her what is best, maybe then you can really decide what to do [email protected]

I still stand by what I said IF you bring a bigger engined car you will be stung on duty, small engined, although not favoured by many is best.

Pension age people can get duty free but it takes a long time and trips to and from Nicosia to get it rubber stamped, and thats even on a small engine, then IF in three years you sell or return to UK you will be liable for the duty.

Many have made this mistake, so email this agent she will advise you the best thing to do for you.

The plus is a small car will be fine for your immediate needs, then when you want to change for a bigger car further down the line, you can sell at a price that will probably cover the cost of the car plus all the expense of bringing it here.

We have a Peugeot and a Renault now both bought new here in Cyprus, we have found that the dealerships that carry out the services etc have been excellent.

I am not a pensioner (well, not quite) and I didn't pay duty on my cars I brought from the UK

Hi BOF. This is reply from clearing agent, so all looks ok and mind now at ease. [i]If the car has been on your name 6 months when it arrives in Cyprus and you will now be living in Cyprus then you can get it duty free and this is not a problem you will pay only registration fee and road tax which is approx 800 and 240 road tax per year[/i]

We moved 2 year's ago and we used Alpha Transport who were very good, we were charged £1800 + VAT and that was for 40 boxes and a three piece suite, only had one lamp shade broken. we did not bring the car, but wish we had although it is a nightmare this end, I still believe it is worth it, I got very little for my car and the cost of a car out here is still very high compared to the UK. I was quoted £700 + VAT at the time to ship it out.
I also used a very good finance company who gave me a great rate of exchange, if you would like the number of either of these people then please email on [email protected]
