How To Buy A Car In Germany As NON-EU Citizens
We’ve been on the search for a van to buy in Germany as non-Eu citizens! We spent a few weeks searching online, made many phone calls and sent loads of email inquiries, came to many dead ends with the language barrier or figuring out exactly how it is possible to buy a car without residency! Follow us on our journey to Cologne to look at a van and see how it all turns out!

Thanks!
Some adventure. Cars break down, bad luck, sounds like it was ultimately not too much trouble, could have went a lot worse. Kudos to the guys helping you out, I know it's the law, but some don't even sell to foreigners, try to add disclaimers invalidating the warranty, or may try taking advantage of people not speaking German. Good luck.

Yes we know, we got lucky and they could also speak English so that helps 🙏
Hello guys.. Your video just popped up and it’s interesting as we’ve just been to Germany to collect a van, got export plates and will be importing it (hopefully😳) into Spain where we’re residents.. You guys got a good price on the export plates btw😉.. Sorry to see the issue you had right away but glad you got all sorted and hopefully all good from now😅.. Anyways, just wondering what your plans are with the van afterwards? You mentioned you’ll be legalising it as a camper/motorhome in Germany, can you do that on export plates? And then what? Can the van be changed so it stays in Germany before the end of the six months? Or does the van need to be gone out of the country after the six months.. (hope that made sense!) Thanks guys, we look forward to following your adventures😊

Hey there! Yeh we thought it was a good deal with the export plates! Well we are stepping into the unknown a little. We’ve read one persons blog from Italy who changed his van over to a motorhome on export plates. We are currently in contact with the registration office to know 100%. We have to have the van imported into another country after 6 months. I think you might be able to extend them but I’m not sure. We are planning to import to a country in Eastern Europe (all going well)
Thank you for the useful information. I've been searching info like this as non EU citizen (Korean) One question. Export plate means you are going to export the van to your original country(Au)? Or Andorra as before? Hope you have a great journey.
