Hi Doll
It is related with weigth , engine volume and age of the car.It seems your car is heavy and has a big engine.
Tax for normal weigths and engine volumes are 200-350 YTL which is still expensive.

Public transport is so good  Dolmus..Coach..etc and it is so relatively cheap, is it worth the expense of owning a car.? Several weeks car rental would be more economical perhaps. Admitedly living in Fethiye itself makes a car less important and lots of walking makes me less guilty about the number of Efes consumed

On the subject of car tax I run two classics as well as a "cooking car" does anyone know if, (a) I would be allowed to import them into Turkey, They are both 30 plus years old,(b} If it is permitted are there any concessions on road tax as in the UK

the answer is no...you can bring them in as a tourist for 6 months, then you have to get them out, consessions on road tax ..you are wishfull thinking, i think you will have to do your cooking somewhere else, also if you get a residency permit you are no longer classed as a tourist therefore you do not enjoy thier consesions,  means car out as happened to a friend of mine.laws change though and i may be wrong! check out www.fethiyetimes.com they have info on the matter.

Wanted to bring my motorbike over but same rules as for cars, six months only, we questioned everyone possible including the consulates even online to bike clubs in Turkey all had the same answer NO.
