What stops someone from buying their car in a neighboring country?
- jhenkens 3y agoI'd guess same as across states in the US, registration?
- ponector 3y agoNot across the states. Across the border. What stops people in US to buy and drive car from Mexico? Huh, you can't even buy in US a decent new European car if someone decided not to sell the model through the dealership. Wait 25 years and only then you can import and register it.
- 4ggr0 3y agoimport tax, probably.
- brnt 3y agoYou need to import it and register it in order to drive it, and then you'll be paying that tax same as when bought from a Dutch shop. The tax does decay for second hand cars, so there's a big market for foreign newtimers.

They'd still be taxed, unless they lived in the foreign EU country for 12 months and bought the car and owned it for 6 months. I suppose the EU is a customs union, but "some restrictions apply".
