slightly less money than new cars. However, buying such cars requires checking several issues and completing certain formalities specific to each country where the purchase is made. How to import car from Austria? What documents should you keep in mind?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>*<strong>The information given in the article concerns only the Polish regulations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_you_pay_attention_to_when_selecting_such_a_car\"><\/span><b>What should you pay attention to when selecting such a car?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various offers for Austrian cars can be found on advertisements portals. <\/span><b>Traders even praise the country of origin of the car if it comes from Austria<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Remember that in absolute terms, imports of cars from Austria are relatively small compared to Germany. However, before deciding to buy such a vehicle, you need to check a few key parameters. The car should be in good technical condition, but it is also good if it the car is not too expensive. When buying an Austrian car, it is worth paying attention to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mileage,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">technical condition,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the car\u2019s legal status,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">number of owners,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the manufacture year,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MTPL insurance,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">possible deregistration.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When browsing Austrian sales offers, you should <\/span><b>make some effort in Poland<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before going to inspect selected copies. Buying a car is just the beginning of expenses, you need to remember about it &#8211; also in Austria, the low price at which the vehicle in question offered might mean a long list of troubles it carries. <\/span><b>It is often more profitable for the owner to sell a car with issues than to make the necessary repairs in their country, and pay horrendous prices for it<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Therefore, it is worth asking the seller to provide the car data &#8211; proof of ownership, passing the current technical inspection, insurance, current registration number and, of course, the VIN number. Many of the cheapest offers from Austrian advertisements are vehicles without a valid technical inspection. In Austria, the technical inspection is carried out at a completely different level than in Poland, without turning a blind eye to trifles &#8211; restrictive tests exclude from operation copies that in Polish reality would pass the technical inspection with a high degree of certainty. However, you should definitely avoid offers and sellers who are not willing to provide detailed information about the vehicle &#8211; unfortunately, sellers of questionable honesty are everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><div class=\"info-frame-container info-frame-magnifier info-iframe-border--blue\">\n      <div class=\"info-frame-icon info-frame-magnifier\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info-frame-header info-frame-header-orange\">Pay attention<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info-frame-content\"><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of the final settlement, you also need to add to the price of the car the costs of not only its registration in the country, but also the entire logistics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/div>\n    <\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mileage of an Austrian car may indicate how it was used by the previous owner. There are cars on the market that have been used only a bit and are still in very good condition. However, you need to make sure that the mileage is real. It is one thing to indicate the car odometer reading, but you also need to pay attention to the overall technical condition of the car. Even if it is undergoing inspections, it is worth checking the accident history and possible faults. Their repair can significantly increase the cost of bringing the vehicle to a proper condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Identification_of_the_car_using_the_VIN_number\"><\/span><b>Identification of the car using the VIN number<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many sellers conceal the full vehicle history of a particular car, therefore it is worth to check it via the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VIN number<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0of a particular vehicle. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Checking the VIN number<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0at autoDNA is the first important step. The second step is verification whether the VIN provided by the seller in fact identifies the car you plan to buy. <\/span><b>There are cases of sellers providing a different VIN<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than the one placed on the offered car &#8211; which is not done to advertise their product as best as possible. It doesn\u2019t happen often, but nevertheless you should pay attention to it. However, this can be checked only after arriving to the place where you can inspect the car. Among the things that you can do on your own, it is also definitely worth checking the car at an independent diagnostic station. Such an operation is an expense of up to 100 Euros &#8211; it&#8217;s a lot from the perspective of a Polish customer, but the money spent in this way can save you from a bigger problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><div class=\"check-vin-btn-container check-vin-btn-container--orange\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"check-vin-btn--arrow\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<iframe id=\"ASD-PA-0005010200-31-906\" title=\"Purchase the autoDNA reports in a bundle\" src=\"https:\/\/afilio.autodna.com\/ext\/load\/0005010200\/31?p_label=Check+VIN+number&p_color=orange\" style=\"width: 271px; height: 59px; border: 0;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">PA.load(\"0005010200-31-906\", \"packages\");<\/script>\r\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MTPL_insurance\"><\/span><b>MTPL insurance<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third party liability insurance is necessary if you plan to return by car on your own. Every registered vehicle must have such a form of protection. Without it, in case of any accident, it is the driver of the uninsured car that the police will find guilty. What is more, you would have to pay out of your own pocket for all the damage, including the treatment of the injured. Therefore, it\u2019s better not to risk. For this reason, during the transaction with the seller, you should receive the appropriate documents. Then, in Poland, after your return, you should take out a standard third party liability policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importing_an_Austrian_car_and_how_to_do_it\"><\/span><b>Importing an Austrian car and how to do it<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have already chosen Austria as a place where you will look for a second-hand dream car, then you still have another issue to decide &#8211; how will you bring the car to Poland?

What\u2019s important is that on each of these websites you can select Polish as the language. Thanks to that, you don\u2019t need to know the Austrian dialect of German. Similarly as in Switzerland, in Austria you can also buy a car put up on sale in somebody\u2019s front yard. However, you need to know where to look for such cars and have a lot of time for that &#8211; it is definitely not a task for people who do not know at least English and who have any resistance to leaving their comfort zone.

Unfortunately, you might also come across very exploited cars, as well as the ones which have issues with documents. It\u2019s better to avoid such cars. Buying a used car from an authorized dealer of a given brand has one more advantage.

A common advantage of Austrian cars is that they are mostly regularly serviced &#8211; Austrians have a high technical culture, which is foreign to Italians or the French.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thoroughly_check_of_the_car_is_essential\"><\/span><b>Thoroughly check of the car is essential<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, before deciding to buy a given car, you need to carefully check its condition and history. For this reason, it is worth taking a little time and doing it thoroughly. It is also a good idea to sacrifice a few hundred Euro for checking the car in a service or even at an authorised service point. In the case of more expensive cars, you should not save money on them. If during the car inspection certain faults about which the seller has not informed you are discovered, you can try lowering the price or the car or ask the seller to repair the found faults themself. What\u2019s interesting, it works in many cases. Especially, if the faults found during an inspection were not mentioned in the sale offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><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>At autoDNA.com, the market-leading\u00a0<a class=\"waffle-rich-text-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autodna.com\/decoder-vin-checker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VIN decoding<\/a>\u00a0tool, you can\u00a0<a class=\"waffle-rich-text-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autodna.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free VIN lookup<\/a>\u00a0on a given vehicle.
