Hi,

To be able to move in Italy, a lot of expatriates think of buying a car, whether new or second-hand.

What are the formalities to buy a vehicle in Italy: car registration, insurance, etc.?

What are the relevant authorities or organizations to contact?

How long does it take and what are the associated costs?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience,

Kenjee

You must have full Italian residence before you can purchase a car in Italy. And a code fiscale, of course.

Hi,

We spend 5 mos. out of the year in Italy.聽 We want to purchase car.聽 I read somewhere your local comune can help facilitate a purchase to a non-resident.聽 Has anyone heard of anything like that? Are there any exceptions to the residency requirement?

Is it a basic requirement that the purchaser should have a valid italian driving licence ?
I don't have an Italian driving licence but I would like to buy a car, may be I'll have a paid driver.
