I'm thinking of driving my car to Romania and sell it there
before continuing by public transport to Asia. Anybody
sold a car already in Romania ? Any good places to sell it?
Any advice ?
Thanks !

it will be noticed in your passport that you enter by a car and the registration number of the car. I am afraid that it is very difficult to leave Romania without the car and not to pay the tax. In fact I have never tried this so mayby I am wrong...
You have to notify that you intend to export your car to
Romania at the custom point. Then you have to pay taxes (30%
of your car value, which will be established due to the
manufacturing year and the ccm of the engine; this tax could
be reduced to 18% only if the car is made in the UE and
exported from UE so, if you come from the Czech Republic
with a VW or from Germany with a Skoda the tax will be 30%,
but for a VW from Germany ->18%; to obtain this reduced tax
you have to certify that the car is made in UE by a note
from the manufacturer; than you have to pay a small tax for
the custom operation and then the VAT, 22%, applied to the
value of the car + the importing tax + the custom tax; all
of them are about 50% form the car value).
AND NOW PAY ATTENTION! In Romania can not be registred
cars which are not complying the ECE pollution norms (Euro2)
it means that a car older than 3 - 4 years can not be
registered so there will not be many buyers. Take care!
Places to sell it: any major city has a car fair in
week-ends. As far as I know, two large car fairs are near
Brasov, at Tarlungeni and in Bucharest (but I think you will
not be able to enter in tis last one: it's extremely crowded
and the places are "sold" by gypsies).
I bought a car from Germany last year and brought it to
Romania so .... I know well the things! Good luck!
