If you buy and register a car but then sell it again shortly afterwards, do you make a loss?

Example :

I buy a car today, drive it for a month, deregister it, and sell it for the same amount.

Then I get my insurance etc. refunded and only lose the registration fee, or is something always "deducted" from taxes/insurance?

Addition(!) so it's clear: I obviously have to pay a pro rata amount for the month I drove, etc. What I meant was whether I'll get a deduction because it was such a short registration time/the change will happen again shortly afterward. Theoretically, if there's nothing major going on, you can drive a new car every few months.

The example was hypothetical. I've just bought a winter car, and I'm doing a few things on it, including the MOT. I'll probably even make a profit on it. Inflation and all that are also clear, and the market is doing well. Thanks.

I know what’s going on. You would lose something after a day (if not much)

Of course, the insurance will take you off exactly for the time the car was registered. If he was registered for one month, you will be charged 1/12 of the annual fee.

You drove a month, so you have to pay insurance for a month and KFZ tax.

In any case, you lose inflation. You’d have to raise the VK price easily.

I doubt the insurance will refund you the full amount if you have already taken advantage of a service.

If you buy a new car, the already 20% will lose value when you drive from the dealer’s farm.

Your insurer will charge you after the short rate (something more expensive)!

and sell him for the same money.

No, you don’t get the same money. it’s always different money.

Then I get insurance etc refunded

No, because for this time you had used a cover and so the service, as well as the streets etc. There are too many refunds or amounts paid in advance. Most of the time… because, for example, a glued-on vignette is not refunded, the fuel remaining in the tank is not refunded, nor does Knöllchen.

Insurance and CF tax you have to pay for one month

However, selling the car at the purchase price is often not a challenge in the current market

Usually, if you want to get it back for the purchase price.

On the current, completely insane car market, however, the opposite is very possible.

For the days it was registered, you will be charged with tax and insurance. You get the rest back.

Registration fees are gone.

If the sales price is lower than the purchase price + the costs incurred, you make loss.
