    What do you guys think of this

    My dad finally has room for a Porsche and we're shearching and searching. One of the Porsche's whe believe is amazing and very attractive is this one:
    996 turbo
    Does anybody know this car? And what do you think about it?
    Good price? Good spec's? ...
    I like it a lot 'cause it's black/black with black rims and its has the x50!

    Hey flyer

    I can't help you with your questions but I've got one for you. Porsches are a lot cheaper in germany than in Belgium. I figure thats the reason why you want to buy in germany.

    The thing is, how do you import a car from there to belgium? What does it cost you? How do you get all the paper work done and what kind of administrative nightmare are we looking at?


    Thanks a lot

    We talked about that with some people who have experience with importing from germany and it seems it's not THAT big of deal..
    I found a list on a belgium car forum (Autowereld), there you can read everything you have to take care with! Comes in handy, we're definitely going to use it.

    Thanks for the info. Porsches in Belgium keep thei value so well that we're probably the most expensive country for second hand porsches.

    Re: What do you guys think of this

    In my experience, buying a used Porsche from a German dealership is on average significantly cheaper, opens a much wider spectrum of choice of color and option-combo's, with the same manufacturer's guarantee, and with not so much additional administrative burden. The Porsche salespeople in Germany are quite used to selling 2nd hand cars to non-German residents and they deal themselves with arranging your transit licenseplates. They mail or fax you the papers you need to have insurance coverage. It helps if you speak fairly some basic business German of course. Once in Belgium with your new toy, you have to take care of passing your car through customs (it's a stupid stamp you need to get), and afterwards register your car with Belgian plates and pay the astronomical taxes this country charges on supercars . Other than that, of course you need to foresee a trip to the Porsche Zentrum in which you found the car. Depending on your travelling habits and the involved distance this will cost more or less. A nice approach is also to go with a friend in another Porsche, enjoy some AutoBahn stretches , insofar traffic permits, and flavour the delivery of the new Porsche in this way. German dealerships also have the habit to make a sort of ceremony of the delivery, by hiding the car under a cover in the showroom and offering a glass of Champagne.

    It's an option to consider, by all means.

    that's probably the way how we're going to do it. We're going to contact the dealership and make arragements and then we will drive over there to test (and probably pick-up) the car. We use to live in Lübeck (not so far from Hamburg though) so german is no problem .
    Very excited at the moment but since I still have exames for another 2 weeks, the trip will probably be made the firt week of february. I'll let you guys now!
