It's changed in the past few years I have imported 2 cars both corollas first one was a GLs 2000 model then upgrade to a 2005 toyota colour collection as I was in the trade and sold a lot of px to dealers who sent them to cyprus I could of made a lot of profit but all that has changed now
@marikandmepaphos13 күн бұрын
Yes unfortunately the world has changed, for the better or the worse 🤔 but those days are now gone, but improving from the UK is now restricted to cars up to 5 years old, and then there is approximately 30 % plus shipping on top, so a cheap car becomes a not so cheap car.. 🙏😉😎

Hi Paul. Im ex motor trade and toying with the idea of retiring in Cyprus. I have an old classic Lotus which i would want to container over. What is the general view of classics and are there any special requirements for them! Great video too 👍
@marikandmepaphos21 күн бұрын
As long as your Lotus is 30 years old on entry there will be no problem, it will be treated as a classic car in Cyprus, low insurance and low road tax, for weekend use the road tax will be 25 Euros per year, for every day use the road tax will be 265 Euros per year, hopefully this helps.. 😉🤔😎

Hi, Paul. I'm due to arrive in Paphos for good in early March. I'll probably be in to see you for a first car over there but I'm also wanting to bring one of my cars over later in the year when i get my residency (EU passport holder) and my Wife follows me. I'm struggling to find out how much my car tax is likely to be. Is there anyway I can find out current Cyprus rates? plus as whichever car I bring over will be over 5 years old (it'll be imported around next Oct so within the 1 year of residency) so how would I calculate the extra car tax on that vehicle (either a 2013 Mk3 Skoda Octavia 2.0TDi estate or a 2008 Mercedes 320CDI M-Class). Anywhere you can point me to to find out from the UK? Looking at your previous videos I'm pretty happy bringing either over from a support point of view with mercs being in abundance over there and the Octavia basically being a reclotherd VW golf. Enjoying the videos Hopefully meet you in march Best wishes Brian.
@marikandmepaphos25 күн бұрын
Thanks very much for watching Brian, and to answer your question, yes both cars have a good parts supply, but.. and there's a very big but, you will avoid import duty due to bring either car as part of your relocation, but the road tax is a totally different thing, on the Mercedes ML the current road tax is just under 700 euros per annum, but this will not apply to your car, you will pay road tax based on the car as a car imported to Cyprus that is somewhere around 1200 euros per annum, and obviously the car will be unsalable, well in my opinion, maybe this doesn't bother you, but something to consider, as for the Skoda, again you are going to pay a lot in comparison to a car of the same age that was already in Cyprus, I would guess somewhere around 600 euros per annum, again this may not bother you but something too consider, hopefully this helps, if you want more information just email me, [email protected].. 👍🤔😎
@PathToPaphos25 күн бұрын
@ thanks Paul. I appreciate you answering. I’ll probably bring the Skoda as we are driving it down in Oct anyway in order to bring the dogs, we are not flying them, once there it’ll be a case of running it into the ground. As I said, I’ll probably pop in to see you when I arrive for something small to get me to work. Poliá efcharistò

We have been holidaying and thus driving in Cyprus for 18 years and have gradually seen a steady decline in standards however as long as you are patient and always expect the unexpected there should not be an issue. As someone once said never use your indicators, it confuses the locals. 🤣

@NessandAndyАй бұрын
I always say you should drive for others as you never expect what they may do, even in the UK they can be idiots like the one that suddenly realised they had to turn right without warning in Derbyshire on Sunday, luckily i drive with plenty of space between myself and the car in front and i find the same applies when were driving in Cyprus.

Great Video, One of my major irritations when hiring a car in Cyprus is the excess the major car rental companies ask for or even the extra charge to reduce the excess to zero. Wondering if the worldwide car hire excess you can now buy in the UK that refunds any excess applicable is accepted by these more local car rental companies you mention on the video? The larger companies are simply not interested and want you to take the extra or take/block the excess on your card. Just wondering for my next visit. Thanks

@marikandmepaphosАй бұрын
For 6 months insurance with full cover you will be looking at around 350 Euro's depending on the value of the car, as for road tax this depends on the co2 of the car, but let's say a car from 2010 would be around 250 euros for the year.. 😁👍😎
