All foreigners should carefully examine the importation of vehicles into North Cyprus from overseas, as cars are valued (Glass's Guide) and import tax is levied on the basis of the value, engine capacity and age. In most cases, the tax assessment is high. It is often better to purchase a Turkish made Renault or Fiat (Murat), new for about £6,000 or a Polo, Fiat Palio, Renault Clio for approx £11,000. Second-hand vehicles are in abundance, but prices for reliable cars rarely drop below £2000, no matter the condition.
Car road tax is approximately £40 annually (more for larger cars/jeeps etc.), and third party insurance in the region of £30.
