Help buying an F12 in Europe.

You could also consider leasing it. The car can be leased VAT free - you DO pay VAT on the monthly, but it'll be less than the VAT on the entire car. If you make a deposit of the value of the car, the monthly will be low. They can also handle the insurance for you.

 

I did it personally on one car - if you can in your business depends a lot on where etc, your accountant can tell you that. I put the entire price down as deposit, so the monthly cost was basically just insurance. The point was just to avoid loss on VAT when selling.

 

Europe. If you want I can PM you a contact at an official Ferrari dealer who can help you.

 

I agree that registering a car in Germany is hard without residence. I bought a car to use before I arrived here and the car registration and insurance was hard till I got a lease on a house which allowed me to register where I lived with the state. Then I could register a car. It was quite hard going as I don't speak German and had to go back a few times. You can use a temp plate for about 5 days only. It includes insurance but only valid five days. I am not sure of a limit on renewals but I did three times.

Plus side of leaving your car in Frankfurt is proximity to derestricted autobahn....

 

If you have an Italian passport I imagine it could be worked out here in Germany. Just need an address to register from and I think that could be arranged rather easily.

 

You need an address?

 

I wonder if you can import from our Saudi market as we have EU spec cars mostly. Prices are cheaper that anywhere else. PM me if intrested I have a 2015 with 1600 km on it .

 

If you can prove that vat has been paid in one EU territory then no more is payable if moving to another

Try to ensure you get the EU certificate of conformity from the seller as these are expensive from Ferrari (approx £ 500-1000) and required for UK registration

There may be other hoops required too eg lights & speedo but get the car first (fairly sure there are other threads about importing new-ish eu cars to uk)

 

I found this link on Toytown Germany - English language news and chat https://www.gov.uk/importing-vehicles-into-the-uk/overview

Do you plan to buy a LHD car in Europe and drive with that car on the wrong side of the roads in the UK?
