If you love your car and like driving then bear in mind that this country has the most unpleasant taxation on buying a car in the entire world. Whatever a car costs in your home country, I can almost guarantee it will cost 2-3 times as much here since vehicle duty is a whopping 170% and then 25% MOMs is added on top (a tax on a tax).
Tragic thing is that WITHOUT the taxes Danish cars are really cheap. In fact, a lot of internet car importers buy their cars from Denmark and then add the duty on applying to the country the car is being imported into.
You can import your
car with you when you
move here, but you still have to pay Danish duty on it at 170% of the assessed value. You must pay for the assessment and then they tell you the value after it has gone through the assessment, by which time it's too late to back out.
Being a cynical IT Contractor, I'm sure you don't really believe all that other rubbish about these taxes existing to help the environment and all that, do you? Neither do I, so personally, I'm going to keep on driving the 12-year-old Volvo I bought when I first moved here and even that old thing unbelievably still has a Danish value of about 30,000 krone...if I lived in the UK I'd probably struggle to give it away. You already pay high enough taxes without donating another huge chunk by choice. If you ever want a new car then it's probably worth moving back to whence you came, since I doubt many jobs can pay an extra £10-15,000 AFTER tax to make up the difference.
I personally know of one case where a business tried to recruit a Dane working in Belgium, but he had to turn the job down because he couldn't justify the cost of bringing his car with him or selling it and buying one here!
In
the meantime, you might want to shop around for a
used car. There a couple of very decent websites;
one is BilBasen and you can also search Den Blå Avis, a weekly newspaper full of private adverts.
