when my uncle lived in denmark for a year he wanted my city coupe as it was LHD, but there was a problem in importing and registering it. you HAD to put what the car was worth and then the tax was some stupid percentage ON the cars value.

for a new car it will only be possible for a rich person to afford. for the working class its cheap used cars

That's interesting, and something for me to look into before I move to Denmark with my Brab ;)

confirmed thats the case - its to stop people circumventing danish car taxes by importing cars from the rest of the EU....from memory i think its about 55-65% of the cost of the used car in denmark - as used cars go for serious bucks in dk, you'll pay way more than the car is worth, most folks seemed to reckon around 200% of the value of the car to import into dk.

I think you'll also need to return the car to standard manufacturers spec

for reference the 5 series beamer i had while i was out there was €96k (company paid not me) when at the time £25k would have bought it for you in the u.k.

Just to add insult to injury, if you don't complete it all within two weeks of residence, they nick you.......

my advice if you want to move a brabus to denmark and you're copenhagen way - move to malmo (in sweden) and travel over the bridge each day.

of course - popping over for smart times is ok... ;)

I have since received a secret information. The Smart Times 2014, take place well either in England or Denmark.

Secret but wrong.

Although, I'm sure the team from S2 and Smartmods (if they go) would vote for Blighty.

No way, we want a holiday and UK isn't that.

Erm, breaking news! lol

In Belgium, before Switzerland was announced, OTV overheard the head of smart telling someone that the next 3 years are already decided, Switzerland 2013, Portugal 2014, Denmark 2015.

Ahhhhh.......rigged voting !  Nothing new there then, eh !

No excuse for there not being a Smart Festival 2014 and 2015 then ?
But I'm sure MB UK will come up with some feeble/poor excuse....
