Buying a car in Bulgaria: private owner vs dealer?

sfriggieri75

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to buy a car in Bulgaria and would like to understand the difference (financially and procedurally) between buying:

    1.    from a private owner (car already has plates), and

    2.    from a dealer (no plates).


Cost of vehicle is around 10K lev.


In short: who pays what, what are the main steps, and are there extra costs with dealers?

Also, does it matter if I’m from another EU country?


Thanks!
