Where Can You Buy a Second Hand Car in France?

Bonjour,

 

If you're an expat living in France looking for a used car to buy, you do have a few options open to you. Visiting the local dealers for véhicules occasionés might offer up a bit of a choice, and browsing the Top Annonces, Auto Scout, or Le Bon Coin if you're confident in French, but if you prefer to deal with a seller who speaks English, your choice is a bit more limited.

 

You might strike lucky and find there's someone on your local English online forum selling a suitable vehicle, or, if it's feasible, you can always pop back to the UK, bring a car over and go through the whole import / registration rigmarole - although the French authorities seem to be making this more and more difficult.

 

Of course, you could take a look on BritsBazaar.com, where sellers can advertise cars, motorbikes, caravan and trailers for free, with up to ten photos to boot. And, if you can't find what you're looking for, you can always place a free Wanted ad.
