[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 20121, member: 4034"] When I lived in Norway, if one imported a car less than two years old the sale was taxed. Over two, it wasn't. This was a lot of money, because LH drive cars are cheap as chips in Britain, but any new car in Norway was about twice the UK price. The routine was to buy a new (LHD if one could be bought) car anyway shortly before ones posting came through, and when the V5 arrived, send it to Swansea with a letter pointing out that that they'd made a typo on the date of first registration, they'd put 1990 instead of 1988. I never heard of anyone who did NOT receive a new, amended V5. It was then easy to sell the nominally 2-year-old car as new, because most Norwegians knew how the system worked anyway. The only reason I never did it was that I couldn't afford to buy a car to sell anyway! That and my abiding concern that the tax man gets his cut. [/QUOTE]
