    What has to be done to bring a Merc S600 Brabus from Russia to Paris ?

    Pay the Tax , the customs and then what ?

    Secondly, the owner doesnt have a french residence. Can he still have the ar under his name here ?
    If its registered under my name , i guess insurance will be very expensive.


    thanks !

    if you register it under your name, don't forget to think about the money laundry regulations in france. that could well be an issue.

    In order to register a car in an EU country you must be a resident of that country. Also, if you regster it in your name, your russian friend may not be insured to drive it if he doesn't have a french driving license.

    Perhaps he has special russian insurance but in the case of an accident I wouldn't want to have to deal with a russian insurance company. ;)

    Cheers

    Good thinking. I ll have to check with him and check if he can have a french license without having to pass every test all over again.
