Porsche Cayenne in dark olive metallic handed over in ViennaDE -> AT
Private customer · ViennaVerified import

Porsche Cayenne - a rare color combination sourced from northern Germany.

Our customer, an entrepreneur from Vienna, had fallen for an unusual and rare color combination: a Porsche Cayenne in dark olive metallic. The right vehicle was eventually found - but in the north of Germany.

From that point on we took over: coordinating the purchase, organizing the import to Austria and the import formalities including the NoVA.

We were able to hand the Cayenne over in Vienna, ready for registration. This is exactly what Autohaus Zwer is here for - when the vehicle of your choice is not just around the corner, we bring it to Austria. We wish our customer much joy and many safe journeys in his Cayenne.

Our mission

What drives us.

The Austrian used car market has been under pressure for years. High demand and limited supply keep prices consistently high. In addition, the selection of equipment and engines on the local market is significantly more limited than in other markets such as Germany.

People in Austria often find attractive vehicles on foreign platforms such as mobile.de or autoscout24, but are unfamiliar with the complicated import formalities.

Our goal is to support you in sourcing your dream car and to open up the EU-wide vehicle market to everyone in Austria. We guide you throughout the entire purchase and handling process and make sure your vehicle is delivered to your doorstep ready for registration.

Knowledge

Frequently asked questions.

The most important answers at a glance.

Basics & benefits

Why should I buy a car from abroad?

The used-car market across the EU is larger and often offers better prices plus a wider selection of models and equipment variants.

Can I handle the import myself?

In theory yes, but mistakes can put the import at risk. Based on our experience, we recommend having our team handle the import.

Which vehicles can be imported?

All EU vehicles with a valid COC certificate can be imported: cars, estates, SUVs, sports cars and electric vehicles — as well as motorhomes, caravans, panel vans and motorcycles.

From which countries can vehicles be imported?

Vehicles can be imported from all EU countries, mainly Germany because of market size and prices, but also Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and others.

Costs & payment

What costs arise during import?

Import costs consist of several factors:

  • NoVA (Austrian standard consumption tax)
  • Official documents
  • Insured transport
  • Handling fee by Autohaus Zwer
  • Optional: vehicle inspection before purchase

Use our cost calculator for an exact calculation for your desired vehicle.

How is NoVA calculated?

It depends on first registration, CO2 emissions, consumption, vehicle price and other parameters. Our cost calculator provides full transparency. You can also compare the values with the official NoVA calculator of the Austrian Ministry of Finance .

How do I pay for the vehicle?

You pay the vehicle price directly to the dealer. For our services such as transport, NoVA and import formalities, you receive a separate invoice from Autohaus Zwer.

Are there hidden costs?

No, there are no hidden costs. All amounts are disclosed in advance. Any deviations are balanced through a recalculation or credit note.

Safety & protection

Is there a warranty on imported vehicles?

The warranty and/or statutory warranty agreed in the purchase contract with the dealer applies. Autohaus Zwer guarantees proper import handling.

What happens if the vehicle has defects?

We recommend buying only from reputable dealers so your statutory warranty is protected. On request, an independent inspection can be carried out before purchase.

Can I inspect the vehicle before purchase?

Yes, an inspection at the dealer or by video is possible. An independent inspection can also be arranged optionally.

What is a vehicle report and do I need one?

A vehicle report is a detailed technical inspection by an independent expert. It is not mandatory, but is especially recommended for higher-value vehicles.

Flow & process

How does the purchase work?

You instruct Autohaus Zwer to handle your vehicle purchase and issue us a power of attorney. We take care of the purchase contract, import formalities and safe transport.

How long does the import process take?

Delivery time depends on the dealer, general importer, authorities and carrier. Overall, you can expect a delivery time of 2-4 weeks.

Do I have to travel abroad myself?

No, we handle the complete process from purchase contract to delivery ready for registration.

Transport & delivery

Is transport insured?

Yes, we only work with professional Austrian carriers whose services include full transport insurance.

What happens if there is an accident during transport?

All transports are fully insured. In the unlikely event of damage, our carrier partner's transport insurance applies and we support the handling process.

What is the difference between standard and express transport?

Standard transport follows a planned route and is cheaper. Express transport is a prioritized direct delivery that is faster but costs more.
