CIAO,
Mi sono appena trasferito qui come residente non-DOM. Sto cercando di acquistare un’auto che userò per un anno. Stavo pensando di fare un leasing a breve termine di un anno, ma vedo tutto il leasing negli ultimi 3 anni.
Comunque, quindi ora sto cercando di acquistare un’auto e non ho conoscenza del mercato. Mi chiedevo se fosse comune a contrattare per il prezzo?
Ho trovato questo sito:
https://orangebookvalue.com/cy/en
Sto guardando i prezzi delle auto a Bazaraki e sono molto più alti della valutazione che ricevo da questo web. Dare o prendere, è una differenza di 1.500 EUR tra le citazioni in Bazaraki alla valutazione che è firmata per un valore dell’auto di 5.000 eur.
La domanda è se questo sito Web può essere utilizzato come riferimento per il prezzo quando parlo con i venditori.

Not sure that comparing to pricing of cars in India can be a good argument when negotiating prices in Cyprus.
Bazaraki prices can be high sometimes, and looking for a good bargain might take time. Also you can always negotiate at the hood.
One thing I learnt is they might tell you it’s a new car or only a few years old but they rebirth cars from other countries and bring them to Cyprus. Just be sure you know what you’re buying. As them for the year it was made not rebirthed
This is an island and all cars are imported. Older cars, when imported, are subject to higher annual tax, which slightly re-balances the market. After Brexit, the #1 source of used cars became more difficult as anything older than 5 years was not importable from there without doing some administrative acrobatics.
In general the cheap “bargain” cars here are cheap for a reason; deferred maintenance, overly worn interior/exterior, broken electronics, etc, so if you only need the car to “move” they can be good buys, but also it might throw a transmission or engine fault after 2 weeks.
Not knowing where you are from, hard to know what to say to get your expectations set realistically, but in general in Bazaraki you can negotiate down around 10%. That said, some offers in Bazaraki are absolutely insane (19000 EUR for a 22 year old BMW that isn’t an M-spec car, for example) and there isn’t even any point to negotiate.
Leasing is something I’d recommend not to do as a private person. For one the leasing period typically is 3 years (as you noticed) but also you cannot write-off the depreciation, so you really pay for it all whereas if you can run it over a company you can write off the losses. The same applies for long-term rental, which basically is the rental company doing the leasing and you pay for it all, still unable to write off the costs unless you have a company.
