Car dump at Dalaman
« on: October 23, 2007, 17:58:47 PM »
Well the 6 months were up and it was not worth the cost and time of taking the old Mazda back to the UK.:(
Off we went to Dalaman Gumruk (Customs) today arriving at 2.25pm.
Managed to make ourselves understood and after handing in the Customs entry form we received on arrival, the log book and my passport we sat and waited. A little while later I signed a form waiving my rights to the car. 45 mins later after many people looking at the papers and a PC the main man came in, took us to look over the car, record the chassis etc etc.
Then 15 mins later I got my passport back with the car removed and I drove it into the compound :( and left the airport :D.
All in all, only 1hr 30 mins, painless, no money required & no real Turkish language skills needed.
Did not even need to use my translator who was on standby at the end of his phone.
Guess it was our lucky day.:D[^]

Fi & Eric

i wonder if anyone has had any recent dealings with the Dalaman customs compound, that can tell me if the method Eric used is still valid.
i came over last month with a UK registered van, with the intentions of returning to UK next month, but considering how little the van will be worth and the costs in driving back i am considering just getting shot of it.
Appreciate any help.

We bought our car over last year, have had it extended for another 6 months, due to leave at end of March but we managed to sell it to someone who wants to move back to UK so it is possible

Cheers for that info walker9 - how dificult was it to get the paperwork sorted out especially the removal of the vehicle from your passport

We will have to go with the buyer to the border so that it can be removed from my husbands passport, we will then get bus back to Fethiye which we have already checked out 90tl each, a bargain. Car was sold under normal UK rules using V5, buyers had UK address so was sent there, then re-sent to him in Turkey.
