Moving to EU - To sell car, or to get it converted to LHD

Hi all!

So we're moving to EU (CZ) in a few weeks. We have a Renault Megane Dynamique 1.4. We bought it this February for 4500 including 2 years extended warranty and now due to husbands job we have to relocate. I checked with a local Renault dealer who wouldn't buy/sell this model but advised us form other buyers a price of 1800 if we were to sell to a dealer. We could hope for (if had time) to get 3000-3500 for it privately perhaps.

Its 27K driven, full service history, MOT till 12/12 and tax till 01/13.

I think the car was originally a LH model so I was wondering how much it would cost to have it converted back to a LH model in Czech Republic and registered there.

Trying to weigh out my options here.


Thanks,

    Far too expensive and way too much hassle.

    Hmm :-/ Thought that might be the case.
  • You could always just drive it over there,albeit on wrong side
  • i dont think there is a need for it to be converted to LHD for you to export it.

    do some research as i think it just need re-registering out there and de registering over here and few tweeks here and there to make it legal for there. if your hiring a movers firm how much would it cost to plonk it in a back of a HGV trailer?
