Importing a Porsche Macan 2.0 from Germany into France

The cost of importing a Porsche Macan 2.0: what it covers

The landed cost in France of a Porsche Macan 2.0 imported from Germany is not just the purchase price. You need to add VAT (if the vehicle counts as new for tax: under 6 months old or under 6,000 km), the CO₂ tax, the weight tax (1,925 kg is above the 1,800 kg threshold of the 2023 rates), transport from Germany, the certificate of conformity (COC) and the French registration document (carte grise).

Our free calculator works out every one of these items automatically from the specifications of your Porsche Macan 2.0 and gives you a GO/NO-GO verdict in seconds.

The Porsche Macan 2.0 on the German market

The Porsche Macan 2.0 is a petrol vehicle found on listing platforms such as mobile.de and AutoScout24. Its 1,925 kg puts it above the weight tax threshold (1,800 kg under the 2023 rates, those of its year of first registration). An age-based reduction applies to used vehicles.

Registering an imported Porsche Macan 2.0 in France

Once bought and shipped, the steps are as follows:

• Quitus fiscal (tax clearance) from the SIE, the French business tax office, to be requested as soon as the vehicle arrives
• Certificate of conformity (COC): from Porsche, quoting the chassis number (VIN)
• French roadworthiness test (contrôle technique) if the vehicle is over 4 years old
• Carte grise (registration document) application on the ANTS portal, for permanent plates

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to import a Porsche Macan 2.0?

Purchase prices on mobile.de range from €48,000 to €65,000 for a 2023 with 25,000 to 50,000 km. On top of that come the tax costs (CO₂ and weight tax, registration) and logistics (transport, COC), which the calculator works out precisely. Resale prices in France range from €60,000 to €78,000.

Is the Porsche Macan 2.0 worth importing?

Not at the midpoint of the ranges above: there the engine works out a landed cost of €69,705 against a €69,000 resale, a loss of €705. It only turns profitable when bought at the bottom of the range and resold at the top, so everything hinges on the price you negotiate, which the calculator lets you test.
