help required to buy a second hand car

[kayakebab]

well finally our car buying mission is complete!
the British seller hasn't got residency, which doesn't make it illegal to sell but the computer system needs an 11 digit number for the seller....
so the notary needed Mugla to apply to Ankara for a number, the first didn't work, then they couldn't get hold of the lady who issued it so mission abandoned.
new number issued and all sorted yesterday.

want to praise and thank Koray Atak at this point , he was brilliant, where some others had simply said it couldn't be done he perservered for us.

notary fee was flat fee 86tl. you have to have a sworn translator with you at the notary.

anyway.... off to the insurance company where we purchased  mandatory insurance 160 tl. they wanted 1100tl for fully comp on a 13 year old car!

paperwork prepared by insurer to take to Mugla.

no change of plates needed as its ME, and no requirement to go to Patlangic Polis now.

insurer would have arranged poa to go to Mugla for us but we've never been and apparently there's nice cheap food up there!
I dint know what they charge for this.

conflicting info.... notary told us we must go to Mugla within 4 weeks, insurer said 2.

notary said we need an X2 form to take there, insurer said we don't as no plate change.

will keep you posted !

Linda, Thursday is market day in Mugla. I wouldn't say that the prices on the market are hugely different to either Calis or Fethiye markets. I didn't look around the food shops in the town, so can't comment on the prices in them. Also, as you go into Mugla, there's an outlet centre, all the usual suspect clothing stores

thanks Liz, I'm looking forward to our little road trip even more now

Just to highlight a few differences with another purchase done on the same day (helped Lance get his new car), don't you just love Turkish red tape!

Notary fee must be variable, buyer paid appx 300tl, the seller nothing, I believe it goes on the value of the car but not 100% sure on that. No sworn translator yesterday, just me Lance & the seller, my Turkish certainly isn't anything like good enough

170tl for a 2006 Fiat Albea, not sure what the f/c price was, didn't ask!

Agents wages were 60tl + transport costs. Total including all the necessary additions like new plates (Turkish reg to Yabanci reg), paperwork etc. was just over 300tl (this included the 170tl insurance which the agent arranged included in his 60tl & a 20tl "bung" to get him to the front of the queue in Mugla, nice touch!) I think the 60tl was dirt cheap compared to the cost of getting to Mugla & back.

Happy trip to Mugla Linda & John, hope you find everything ok, I don't think anything involving Turkish red tape will ever be easy!
