buying a second hand car in Puglia

5 years ago
HI All,

Just new to this. I own a house in Puglia ( since 2006), have a codice fiscal, but do not have a certificate of residency as I still live in the US. I have been offered a local little old fiat ( every time I go to Italy, I rent a car and it always gets dented or scratched and I have to pay for it to be fixed). I am unclear as to the process of getting a certificate of residency. I think I might need it to buy the car and yet I am not a resident. I do not plan on spending more than 3 months there and do understand that I can have it insured and uninsured about 3 times a year without penalty. Can I get this residency from my local town hall ( a very small town in the province of Otranto, Lecce.
Any/all advice is helpful. And the guy selling it to me is very honest, but not sure I can actually buy the car without getting this certificate...
