Registration of a UK vehicle in Germany

From what I've heard, registering a non-EU car here in Germany is quite complicated and may involve costly hardware changes to get it to confom with German standards. That's not worth it for a used car. Better buy a cheap second hand car for the time until your German one is fixed - or become member of a car sharing scheme, which are surprizingly efficient (and cheaper than owning one yourself).

For instance the headlights....... Those that have thought about importing a car to Austria, in the end, haven't bothered because it was too much of a pain with the paperwork and changing things at an added cost unless it was a brand-new car.

I would ask officials about this. The UK is no longer in the EU. Importing a car into the EU usually means a 10% import duty and 19% value added tax.

There is an exemption for one who has a car solely in their name from outside the EU where they lived at least 12 months, are now giving that foreign residency up and are starting a new residency in Germany. But the vehicle should come when the person moves and I don't know if it is too late now that you are already here for 12 months. Ad it doesn't have to do with how old the car is; that doesn't even make sense. I am posting a link in English about the situation but as it is not an official government site one can't say how reliable it is.
