Как купить авто в Нидерландах

Online

В AutoHouse узнав цену спросить заложена ли туда kosten rijklaarmaken – около 400-500 (нам не нужен, и если он есть в цене – просить убрать).

Спросить APK (техосмотр) обязательно, так как может быть истекший… делают за день-два, стоит 50 евро, берут залог. Полный техосмотр стоит ~€150, но он того стоит :) На RDW.nl можно пробить по номерам инфу (год, дата последней продажи, до какого действителен техосмотр).

Можно взять на тест драйв машину (цену лучше окончательную до тест драйва не устаканивать и после тест-драйва скидывать).

Если в AutoHouse покупать или у частника, то в VWE / GWK / через партнёра можно оформить машину на экспорт в одном месте, а не бегать в 10 мест. Они сделают и номер транзитный (номерные знаки белые), и страховку, и что там ещё надо… хотя можно сделать все самому обежав 3-4 места и в сумме чуть дешевле… Если брать в Утрехте на базаре, то там оформляется всё на месте. Иначе покупка оформляется на почте (как именно?), ещё нужна страховка и номера.

Documents for export (from VWE)

For export you need:

  1. original registration certificate part IA, IB and II (with an old model registration certificate you need part I, II (or IB) and transfer proof/copy part III);
  2. the correct number plates which belong to the vehicle
  3. valid identification papers
  4. the person mentioned on the identification papers.

At the application for an export you can indicate if you want to use the public road or if you want the vehicle transported on a trailer. If you want to use the public road, you need an export registration number and an insurance. The application of an export registration number is only possible when the vehicle posses a valid MOT (Ministry Of Transport test, called APK in Dutch). The RDW delivers the export registration signs directly after a valid export application. The export registration signs and the insurance are valid for 14 days, unless the MOT expires beforehand.

Goods that are being exported outside the European Union need a declaration for export which must be done at the customs authorities. You can arrange this with a Single Administrative Document (EX.A). This document must be stamped by the customs authorities when you leave the European Union. And you must bring the vehicle with you and we need the invoice of the car.

You can get the required documents, insurances and number plates, against a payment, at the VWE office in Schiedam. For complete directions, address information and opening hours, you can have a look at our website http://www.vwe.nl.

Other documents like Declaration type of approval data are also available at VWE. Our Service Centre would gladly give you any advice you need. You can contact us at +31(0)72 - 576 7000.

Оформление документов при пересечении таможни

На таможне вам необходимо пройти (в различных окошках):

  1. паспортный контроль
  2. таможенный осмотр
  3. регистрацию транспортного средства и заплатить таможенную пошлину

Паспортный контроль проходится быстро и непринуждённо.

При таможенном осмотре работник таможни производит сверку:

  1. Регистрационных номеров транспортного средства
  2. Номера двигателя (табличка под капотом)
  3. Номера кузова (обычно под половичком на передних сидениях)
  4. Дату выпуска (на стёклах в нижней части)

При регистрации транспортного средства необходимо предъявить:

  1. Договор купли-продажи
  2. Паспорт транспортного средства (Fahrzeugbrief)1)
  3. Техпаспорт (Fahrzeugschein)
  4. Декларация (??)

Работник таможни производит осмотр транспортного средства для выявления товаров, подлежащих таможенному обложению. Таможенному обложению подвергаются все запчасти, в том числе и сменный (зимний) набор резины.

После этого необходимо заплатить таможенную пошлину и получить временную регистрацию (временный сертификат) транспортного средства, который действителен 1 неделю.

С этой временной регистрацией нужно прийти в ГАИ, где проводят сверку номеров и кузова, забирают транзитные номера и временную регистрацию и выдают новые.

Поиск online

Имеет смысл запланировать посещение сразу нескольких рынков за один заход. Например, сначала посетить рынок в Кёльне, который работает каждую субботу с 08.00 до 16.00, и если там ничего не подвернулось, то заехать на рынок в Берлине, который работает по воскресеньям с 08.00 to 16.00.

Автосервисы для проверки авто:

Обычно не работают по выходным дням.

Что нужно проверить в авто (1, 2)

  • двигатель: расход на 100 км должен быть 6-8 л. в городе, 4.7-5.3 л. за городом
  • работает ли ручник и тормозная система
  • зазоры между дверей должны быть одинаковые, иначе двери меняли
  • посмотреть, не проржавел ли кузов (приподнять половик) и арки над колёсами
  • компрессия в двигателе (можно узнать на СТО)
  • иммобилайзер должен иметь два ключа
  • высота протектора шины (минимум 1.6мм) допустима к использованию (как определить высоту протектора шин не имея измерительный инструмент, Чем опасны полустертые шины? Как выбрать новую летнюю резину?), шины смонтироаны правильно (либо согласно направлению вращения для направленных шин, либо согласно внешней метке для ассиметричных шин)

Sell car

Auto rent

Please check:

  1. Damages on the car are written down on your contract. Do not forget to take your copy of the contract!
  2. Where the spare tire and necessary tools for changing wheels are.
  3. If you have local currency (for tolls etc). Not all petrol stations accept credit cards.
  4. You must find out exactly where to return the car when the rental is over.
  5. Check what kind of fuel the car needs. Diesel or petrol? Euro 95 or super?
  6. Ask what you have to do in case of accident/damage. At some destinations it is necessary to make a police report even for the smallest damage.

Are you planning to buy new winter tires in 2018? Then choose tires with a snowflake symbol (mountain icon with snowflake, also called alpine symbol or 3PMSF2) ). In Germany, tires that are manufactured after 31 December 2017 are only valid as winter tires if they have a snowflake symbol on them. This symbol indicates that the tires have been tested and found suitable for use in winter conditions. If you have winter tires with only an M+S3) symbol, you can continue to use them after 1 January 2018 in Germany, if they were manufactured before 2018. Only after 30 September 2024, these tires are no longer regarded as winter tires.

If you want to choose auto tires that are higher than normal with the same radius, you should check the aspect ratio, which is the percentage of the tire's height to its width. Tires with a higher aspect ratio have a greater height to width ratio, which means they have a taller sidewall and a larger overall diameter than tires with a lower aspect ratio.

For example, if you currently have a tire with a width of 205 mm and an aspect ratio of 55 (typical for a passenger car tire), the tire's height would be approximately 112.75 mm (205 mm × 0.55). If you wanted to choose a tire with a taller sidewall, you could look for a tire with a higher aspect ratio, such as 65, which would give you a tire height of approximately 133.25 mm (205 mm × 0.65) for the same wheel size.

Keep in mind that changing the aspect ratio of your tires will affect the handling and performance of your vehicle, so you should consult a tire professional or your vehicle manufacturer's specifications before making any changes.

Winter tires can have a stopping distance approximately 35% shorter than all-season tires on packed snow.

Rim

The offset, or ET (which stands for “Einpresstiefe” in German), refers to the distance between the hub mounting surface and the centerline of the wheel. Wheels with a lower offset will have the mounting surface closer to the outside edge of the wheel, while wheels with a higher offset will have the mounting surface closer to the inside edge of the wheel.

In general, wheels with a higher offset will provide better stability on the road. This is because the weight of the vehicle is more evenly distributed across the wheel, which helps to prevent excessive stress on the suspension and steering components.

However, selecting the correct offset for your vehicle also depends on a number of other factors, such as the width of the wheel, the diameter of the tire, and the suspension setup. It's always best to consult with a professional mechanic or wheel specialist to determine the best offset for your specific needs.

Feature comparison for 2023 cars (see also Kia e-Niro v.s. VW ID.4):

Volkswagen ID.4:

:ADD:

  • Big enough battery (77 kWh) with pretty decent DC charging (175 kWh)

  • Buttons under main console are not backlit in the night
  • Rear camera only in Pro Business trim
  • Rear seats not warmed (no option at all)
  • No autohold (put to parking mode)

Kia Niro EV:

:ADD:

  • Head-up display
  • Front seats vented
  • Rear seats warmed
  • Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) support
  • One pedal driving with adaptive breaking regeneration
  • 7 years of warranty provided by Kia

:DEL:

  • Small battery (64.8 kWh) and slow DC charging (80 kWh)5)
  • No wireless Android Auto (only USB-C)6)
  • Phone cannot be used as a digital key7)
  • Directions from Android Auto navigation on heads-up display
  • No 360° or front camera
  • No seat warming on schedule (only climate + wheel)
  • After climate control is activated remotely and stopped, climate settings are not set to previous ones.
  • Too strict driver assist – the car is constantly beeping and pulls the steering wheel.
  • No walk away auto locking doors based on proximity distance to the key8)
  • Manual battery preconditioning (for example, when navigating using Waze)
  • Glossy black plastic on the central panel collects fingerprints
  • Autowipers are not too smart – in some conditions start moving crazy fast
  • 12V battery is badly monitored and often is discharged below the suggested limit of 11V, and hence dies quickly (buy LiIon booster)
  • No LED/lamp in charge port
  • Does not handle bumps gently (My Hopes Were Dashed - Kia Niro EV)

Breaking distance from 100 km/h to full stop:

To check:

  • If built-in navigation checks that all chargers are busy.
  • The EV range is reliable the day after you drive on a highway v.s. a week of smooth city driving.
  • If stop lights are on if regenerative breaking is on.
  • If unlocked from Android app works quickly enough.
  • Manual battery preconditioning works with build-in navigation.

Driver codex

  • Welcome the passenger (with a smile 😃).
  • Doublecheck that the destination matches the one the passenger ordered (have you picked up the right person?), or ask his name.
  • Help the passenger to put a bag into a trunk and bring it back.
  • Ask about A/C, temperature, music volume explicitly (not just “Are you OK?”).
  • Offer water / snacks / phone charger.
  • Check that there are no leftovers after the ride.
  • Keep your car clean.
  • Close windows as passengers.
  • Don't be a talking driver as not all passengers appreciate that.
  • Don't talk over the phone when driving.
  • Don't violate the traffic rules, don't pick up kids (should be attended by a grown up), kids needs car seats, don't drive for cash.
    • In some locations teens (14-18) are allowed to take a taxi, this options should be enabled in “Preferences” in bottom left of Uber app
  • Don't wait for customers to make shopping (for 30 mins), ask them to order another drive via app.
    • Multi-stops are supposed to be 3-5 minutes

To consider

  • Don't agree on trips for which destination is not set (scam: destination is set to a pickup point).
  • If the passenger cancels the trips when driving, say you will bring him to police.
  • Don't chaise a surge that Uber offers unless it is literally 2 minutes away. It disappears leaving you upset.
  • Use different apps available in your area to maximize your income.
  • Add passenger life insurance and/or belongings.
  • Takes breaks / sleep well / drink coffee or energetic.
  • Don't drive waiting for a ride offer. Stop (park) and wait.
  • Get a dashcam that films the interior of the cabin.
