My plan is to try to register the car here in Switzerland since one can only use the Swedish plates for the first 12 months. Since I have invested huge sums in repairing the car it is almost brand new despite being 10 years old and going around the globe four times (160 000 km)…
The first step was achieved this morning by going to Zollverwaltung and getting the paper saying that I can import it without paying tax. The next step was to get a paper from an insurance company which says that they will insure it once the import/registration process is finished. Then I went to Strassenverkehrsamt (neighbor to CS) and got a time slot for the car inspection in the end of April.
Before going to the car inspection, which is approximately three times more expensive than the Swedish car inspection, I need to do an exhaust test at a Saab garage. I have asked Titan and hopefully that is not too expensive. Since this test is done as part of the Swedish car inspection, which was done in December, I don’t expect too big surprises but you’ll never know.
Update: The mandatory exhaust test is booked for next Wednesday morning.
Update II: The exhaust test went fine and I now need to prepare for the car inspection which will be harder to pass.
