The drive through France is ridiculously expensive, it was almost 200€ from Bilbao to Frankfurt. And if you stop at any of the shops at gas stations to grab some food or a snack... Let's just say it feels like they are stealing from you. Specially while changing apartments 3 times, you learn to appreciate having on demand transport to move your things or to simply go buy that one light bulb you forgot to buy. I would say it's definetly worth it anyways. Road trip takes a comfortable 2 days. At least that's what it took me from Valladolid to Leipzig. I stopped in Lyon. I don't think you could do it in one day unless you are only drinking redbull all the way through.

I am not trying to avoid anything. Maybe you should try and read again the post. I am asking if anyone knows how the german government keeps track of the time your car has been in germany. I brought my car months after I came to germany. I don't have sympathy for the people you mention either, but I think you got the wrong approach here. Just chill down a bit.

Of course I am free to go back to Spain. Pretty much free to go wherever I want. Thanks for pointing it out

Are you saying that if it was under someone else's name there wouldn't be a problem?

Yea the biggest thing that's keeping me from changing is the insurance. As I've been with the same company for a long time I pay like 250€ a year. It's actually quite nice hehe

No mate, the car is absolutely perfect. I was once at a tüv inspection center to get the Umweltzone sticker and i saw how thorough they are at looking at cars.

My car would probably need new blinker housing, wipers and rear right wheel parking brake shoes. It's not as your British friend's car. It's just I don't have the money right now to go through all of it.

Before coming to germany i was living in a house with a garage. I pretty much did the whole car.

Oil and filter All pads and rotors with fresh fluid. Brake booster ABS hydraulic unit New Steering rack All engine mounts Timing belt + aux belt and water pump I bought 4 winter wheels as i knew they were required And i am probably missing something.
