Greetings from Croatia!

I found an interesting car advertised on a Hungarian sales site ([https://www.hasznaltauto.hu/szemelyauto/x/x/x-18720548](https://www.hasznaltauto.hu/szemelyauto/x/x/x-18720548)). I’d like to know what the procedure is for buying a used car in Hungary and then importing it to Croatia. My understanding is that I need the purchasing contract, the COC document and the registration certificate (“forgalmi engedély“) in terms of documents, Hungarian export plates and a temporary insurance for the transit to Croatia.

Now, in this particular case the car is in Hungary, yet it is not registered and hasn’t been inspected in Hungary – does that mean that no registration certificate would be available?

Where do I obtain Hungarian export plates – is this a straightforward process which can be done without knowledge of Hungarian? Are export plates bought with a corresponding insurance policy tied to them?

Please do point out anything you consider noteworthy and thanks in advance!
