Second-hand vehicles are much cheaper than copies straight from the showroom, and at the same time they can serve the new owner correctly for years to come. However, in order to become an owner of an Italian car, it is necessary to complete certain formalities and obtain specific documents. <\/span><b>That&#8217;s it for the theory. From a practical point of view, you should first learn the characteristics of a given market<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; in this case the Italian one, the attitude of the Italians themselves to their cars. After years, it is the concern of the previous owner\/owners (or its lack) that will most affect the condition of the second-hand car purchased on the Apennine Peninsula.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Characteristics_of_the_Italian_market\"><\/span><b>\u00a0Characteristics of the Italian market<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, in importing an Italian car, an extensive network of motorways &#8211; of course the toll ones &#8211; is quite helpful, which speeds up the movement of cars across the country. Motorway costs must be included before departure, they can be the lion&#8217;s share of all logistics &#8211; you can find more information about this in the article on toll roads and motorways in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><div class=\"info-frame-container info-frame-exclamation info-iframe-border--green\">\n      <div class=\"info-frame-icon info-frame-exclamation\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info-frame-header info-frame-header-orange\">It is good to know<\/strong><strong><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info-frame-content\"><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Italian highways are simply some of the most expensive ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><\/div>\n    <\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Italian cars are quite popular, <\/span><b>in 2022 more than 17.500 vehicles from Italy were imported to Poland<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which puts Italy in sixth place in terms of the number of imported vehicles. As it is not difficult to guess, Italians love all Fiat products, they have great affection for all their models &#8211; especially those produced in their home factories. Of course, you will also find cars from other manufacturers such as Mercedes, BMW or Volvo. <\/span><b>However, it is clear on the streets and highways that Italian automotive products are the dominant force<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The bodywork that Italians most often choose is a hatchback &#8211; especially in cities, with historic narrow buildings, drivers like small, urban models that are easy to park. In addition, you should be aware of a certain issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><div class=\"info-frame-container info-frame-bulb info-iframe-border--yellow\">\n      <div class=\"info-frame-icon info-frame-bulb\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info-frame-header info-frame-header-blue\">Information<\/strong><strong><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info-frame-content\"><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Italians, like the French, do not give much attention &#8211; although not all of them &#8211; to the scratches on the body or the cleanliness of the interior. The car is to serve the owner. Moreover, in the interiors of many imported cars, you can literally sense the Italian love for cigarettes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><\/div>\n    <\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Italians are very fond of simple but stylish cars. In most cases, the gearbox they are equipped with is a manual structure &#8211; in city centers, they routinely leave cars in gear, which allows other drivers to push them if necessary. In many regions, the model that enjoys great recognition is also known in our country Panda, also a variant of the first generation. In the Italian province, you can easily find Fiat models still fit for everyday driving, which disappeared from Polish streets years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Another aspect characteristic of Italian cars is the condition of the body &#8211; and it is not about the lack of scratches or aesthetics, but about corrosion. Due to climatic conditions, especially in central and southern Italy, you will have no problem finding a car without even a spot of corrosion.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While older cars are poorly equipped, modern models leave the showrooms with a high standard of equipment. <\/span><b>It is extremely difficult to find a copy without air conditioning<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and other additions in the field of comfort affecting driving safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vehicle_history\"><\/span><b>Vehicle history<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each vehicle has a specific history. Not always a more expensive car is a guarantee of excellent technical condition and the absence of a turbulent past. For this reason, before deciding on a given copy, you should\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">check VIN<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0and learn about its vehicle history, for example using the AutoDNA report. This can also be done online on the office&#8217;s website, via a trusted profile. This is a convenient solution when you use the offer of car exchanges in Italy or offers of private owners. For this reason, you should ask the seller to provide these numbers at the very beginning. In Italy, contact with the seller will not be a major problem, in large cities most people communicate in English to some extent. Thanks to this, it is also possible for them to communicate with buyers from abroad. When planning to buy a car from a company or from a private person in Italy, you should not forget about the VIN number and getting as much information as possible before going on a trip. Extensive photographic and service documentation is be a huge advantage. A dishonest seller, as everywhere, will wriggle from providing such detailed car data. Remember that Italian cars feature also often carelessly performed paint repairs. Professional services are expensive, which is why many drivers try to do ad hoc repairs on their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_look_for_an_Italian_car\"><\/span><b>Where to look for an Italian car?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the length of Italy and the high costs associated with moving around it, it is worth selecting the copies you are interested in before leaving for the trip.

Once the vehicle has been unregistered, it is not allowed to be driven on Italian streets. The only option then is to use the help of companies that deliver the car on a tow truck. In this way, the cost of fuel disappears, but you have to pay up to several thousand zlotys for such an operation. Usually, specialists look at the car on the spot, make transactions and bring it directly on a tow truck Choosing an intermediary if you want to bring a car also has other advantages, a visit to the Italian office becomes their duty along with all the formalities to be done. What&#8217;s more, if you want to import a car &#8211; a specific model and version is also not a problem, you can easily find a specialized company that will bring one on request.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is also the option of purchasing vehicles from a dealer who has already imported them earlier. Such cars usually have temporary MTPL insurance. The seller should provide the new owner with the same documents as when buying a car directly from an Italian. Remember, however, that buying a car already brought into the country involves some risk. Contrary to appearances, cars in Italy are not cheaper, units kept in impeccable condition are often even more expensive than on the Polish market. As always, price bargains result from certain visual defects or mechanical problems, the removal of which in Italy is simply very expensive &#8211; hence the bargain. For this prosaic reason, before leaving for the final inspection, it is worth asking the seller for accurate photos of the car from different angles. <\/span><b>For the Italian, small scraches are not a problem.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Driving_an_Italian_car_back_to_the_country\"><\/span><b>Driving an Italian car back to the country<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Export license plates allow for trouble-free entry of a car from Italy to Poland<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but you should immediately register the car with the Polish office. You have 30 days to do so. You must also take into account the excise duty, which you must pay within 14 days of importing the car. Confirmation of payment of such a fee will also be necessary when registering the vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0However, before you get to the country, you have to get prepared for a long journey. Remember that from the capital of Italy, Rome, to central Poland, you are separated by a distance of over 1,700 kilometers, and an expedition to the very south of the country is already an expedition exceeding 2,200 kilometers and more. Beautifully preserved cars can be found in the sunny south, but importing cars from these areas is associated with a considerable cost of fuel as well as toll motorways &#8211; in Italy there are no vignettes, the payments are done at gates.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Registration_of_an_Italian_car_in_Poland_%E2%80%93_step_by_step\"><\/span><b>Registration of an Italian car in Poland \u2013 step by step<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cars imported from Italy must of course be registered in Poland. For this purpose, it is necessary to organize specific documents and pay certain fees. This should be done in the communication department appropriate to your place of residence &#8211; one of the largest is the excise tax paid to the tax office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documents_needed_to_register_an_Italian_car\"><\/span><b>Documents needed to register an Italian car<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After importing the vehicle from Italy, you have 30 days to register it in Poland. You can drive on the temporary registration certificate for a short time, and then you need to have a Polish, permanent document issued. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a complete application with attachments. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contract or invoice issued when buying a car,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">confirmation of the first technical examination in Poland,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">confirmation of payment of registration fees.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">confirmation of payment of excise duty,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">proof of a car from Italy.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t forget about the issue of translating the indicated documents.

In some offices, translations are not required at all, while other institutions expect a sworn translation of each document.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In theory, excise duty is calculated on the amount entered on the contract or invoice. Of course, the rate depends on the engine capacity of the vehicle, as is always the case. However, it is not worth looking for savings here and deliberately underestimating the value of the purchased car &#8211; the tax office will gladly undermine such a declaration by ordering the payment of excise duty on the market value. When buying a significantly less valuable copy, you must write down in the contract its defects that decided about such a poor value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Costs_of_car_registration\"><\/span><b>Costs of car registration<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After purchasing the car, you should go to the local communication department and complete the required formalities.
