Leasing an import car: the many benefits
24 oktober 2021
You don't only have to look in the Netherlands when looking for your dream car. You can also choose to import a car. Many cars are imported, especially from Germany. Both leasing and importing a car from abroad have many advantages. You can read what these are below.
A bigger selection
The range of cars abroad is a lot more extensive. For example, in Germany alone you can choose from up to two million cars. In addition, there is even a shortage of used cars in the Netherlands: you can choose from approximately four hundred thousand second-hand cars in the Netherlands.
Financial advantages
Not only the large selection is a reason that persuades many people to choose an imported car: there are also a number of financial benefits associated with importing a car. In general, imported cars are a lot cheaper than if you lease the same car in the Netherlands. The low purchase price is favorable for the monthly lease amount. If you import a new car, you will also have to deal with a lower BPM. In addition, when leasing a car, you do not have to pay a large amount of money at once: this is especially beneficial for entrepreneurs.
Bpm
The bpm is also called the tax on passenger cars and motorcycles. Determining the bpm is an important step if you are considering importing a car. You can use this to check whether you can make a good deal. The bpm is determined, among other things, by the level of CO2 emissions, the year of manufacture of the car, the make and type and the fuel the car runs on. You can easily have the bpm calculated via the internet.
Fast delivery
If you have a specific car in mind from a Dutch dealer, you may have to wait a long time for your brand new lease car. Sometimes you have waiting times of a number of months. In addition, there are cars that are no longer available in the Netherlands due to the limited supply. Fortunately, when you import a lease car, in most cases you will have your car on your doorstep in no time. However, importing a car takes about two weeks.
Many options
Cars from abroad are usually known for their many technical gadgets. There are often more luxurious versions driving around abroad than we are used to in the Netherlands. These cars are often labeled as 'bare'. When importing a lease car, there is a good chance that you will lease a car with all kinds of options that are not even available in the Netherlands, such as a head-up display.
You have to think about this
Perhaps you have a good idea of what your ideal car will look like. If you do not have this yet, it is important to list the requirements your future car must meet. For example, you can filter by car brand, color and fuel. Electric cars in particular have become popular in recent years because they do not emit harmful substances.
