5 reasons to bring a car from Germany instead of buying it in Portugal.

After moving to Portugal, the question arises. How and where is it better and cheaper to buy a car in order to make life more comfortable and have the opportunity to explore Portugal? The range of cars in Portugal is limited, and prices are high. At the same time, Germany is relatively close and has a much more developed and affordable car market.

In this article we want to list the advantages of buying a car in Germany, and describe each of them in more details.

5 reasons to buy and bring a car from Germany:

1. Car prices are 20-30% lower compared to Portuguese ones.

It really is! Car prices in Germany are significantly lower. After the first five minutes of searching and comparing, you can notice an obvious difference in the cost of a car, which reaches 30% in some cases. This is primarily due to the import tax on cars in Portugal - ISV (Imposto Sobre Veículos). The amount of tax depends on the engine volume, fuel type, estimated CO2 emissions and a year of manufacture. For the new cars with a decent engine capacity, you will have to pay 10-20 thousand euros when importing to Portugal, and this is not the limit.

2. The offer of cars is significantly bigger.

In Portugal, unfortunately, there is a modest range of cars. But in addition to the already limited assortment, it is even more difficult to find a good and well-maintenanced car. What can not be said about Germany, the supply on the market is 10 times more! In addition to the popular models of Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen brands, it is quite easy to find more rare and exclusive models and configurations, as well as cars from non-German manufacturers: Volvo, Land Rover, Tesla, and etc. And even if you dream about a convertible or an electric car, you can easily find any configuration in Germany.

3. Quality

German quality has long established itself on the world market. Manufacturers and dealers value their reputation, so the maintenance of сars is carried out at a high level. It is important that the Germans are pedantic and careful in the maintenance of their cars, so they responsibly monitor the condition of the car, service in the certified workshops and purchase only official auto parts.

4. Low risks

As already noted above, German dealers value their reputation, so the risks of getting a destroyed car are very low. Also, the Germans change cars quite often, every 2-3 years, so there is a high probability of buying a car that is still with the manufacturer's warranty. Accordingly, in case of a breakdown, it can be possible to apply for a warranty and repair the car for free.

5. Availability

Don’t think that buying a car in Germany is a long process! The market intensity will allow you to find a suitable car in 2-3 days and if you quickly arrange delivery, then in 2 weeks you will be sitting behind the wheel of the desired car exploring beautiful Portugal!
