Buying a car in Poland

Hey guys I am studying in Poland and I am looking to buy a car. It will be a 2000-2003 audi or bmw diesel (2.5 tdi v6 or 330d). But anyway, should I go to Germany to buy the car and bring it back to Poland or should I find one already in Poland from Germany? If I go to Germany I will have to register the car back in Poland and pay alot of taxes... Not sure where to buy. Are there dealers who import cars? My location is just south of Krakow in Nowy Sacz.

Thanks for the help

I think you answered your question partially already. Not to pay excise tax (you'll pay over 18% of the car value in case of the cars you mentioned) and deal with a lot of other formalities (how well do you know Polish, it will be completly necessary) it's much better to buy a car in Poland. And you'll save much time too. There is a lot of cars imported and waiting already in Poland, so going abroad yourself seems only for people who have enough time, know German (to negotiate and do formalities and temp. insurance etc.) and Polish (to pay VAT, excise, getting Polish tech. inspection and other formalities before registering the car...) and want to go through the struggle. On the other side many cars in Poland (in Germany sometimes too) have a decreased mileage counter.

I speak good Polish. Have been checking on Allegro. So should I just look for cars at dealerships rather than privatley owned?

I'd say it's the same (dealer or direct, private owner). What matters most is if that's the cr you want, in the condition worth the price, that's all.
Half of the cars are already brought to Poland so if you browse on the web the ones that are around you then you might save time, effort and travel to Germany. If you don't find anything locally, then consider a broader circle or going abroad, this is how I did it. Oh, and some dealers accept orders for cars.
