Post new topic

Hi,


I found a EV car from mobile.bg, imported from Germany and seller is not a dealer, he don't know the procedures.


Does anybody know what is the procedures to register a car in Bulgaria and what is the costs and also how many days it take?


Thanks

Kykers

Also if anybody knows, is there any protected payment methot for non registered cars?

Basically the procedure is as follows:


  1. You buy the car and the ownership is transferred with a sales contract, in front of a Public notary.
  2. Since the car is not registered, you have to take it to the Traffic Police Office /for Sofia in "Darvenitza"/, for technical inspection and registration. You cannot drive it still, so ask the seller if he could arrange a transport. That is a normal practice.
  3. Before the technical inspection and registration you must get Third Party Liability insurance.
  4. After the registration you can drive the car. Better arrange a CASCO insurance.
  5. Visit the local municipality, register the car there and pay the municipal tax.
  6. Buy a Road vignette, if you plan to drive the car outside city perimeter.



That is the whole story, more or less. :)  However, before buying the car I strongly advice on having it checked by a mechanic, so that you get an estimation of the additional costs for repairs, since it is not a new car.
