Thank you for the answer. So it means that when I want to drive the Avantime I either have to import one or must be extremely lucky... There used to be a regulation that allowed immigrants to take their car to Norway without having to pay taxes on it. however this is what I found on the web-site of Toll.no "Import of Motor Vehicles as Removal Goods If you as owner of a motor vehicle wish to take this vehicle with you when moving to Norway and to drive it in Norway, you will have to pay duty on it. A regulation exempting such vehicles from duty expired on January 1, 2002." So I have to calculate the costs for importing the car. With the toll-calculator on the site I came to a tax of over 10.000 Euro.......

as far as I know all foreigners who have not lived in norway previously can drive their foreign registered cars here for the first 12 months. Just like a tourist would. When this 12 month period actually begins is a bit flexible, but should be the date that you move here permanently. If you are here temporarily you can get a permit from customs allowing you to drive with foreign plates for a second 12 month period if you want. After that, according to the customs in Norway you'll need to register the car here, or send it out of the country. To register it you probably know that involves paying a few taxes.
However, according to EFTA, European Free Trade Agreement or EØS agreement as it's called in Norway, all EU citizens can move to Norway with their possesions without having to pay any duties or import taxes on them. I believe that taxes on cars is the second largest source of govt income behind oil revenue so govt websites don't mention anything on how new immigrants can avoid taxes. The only people I know of who have got their cars in tax free recently have had or were good lawyers
