Given that a new Landcruiser 70 series is 4,800,000, Say £27k.

tax and duty circa £6500.

£33.5k total.

Shipping around £2k.

whats a sensible rate to pay to get one landed? £38k with agent fees? Anyone know a good a agent?

Shhh can’t have the Eurotrash lovers cottoning onto the best cars wink

Figures above match what I paid including the extra to an importer for both of mine.
just shows the mods to be a little narrow minded!

What did you import?

Im sure I heard the issue will be actually getting one. I think the next 3 years are already allocated

I reckon £35k-ish if you could ever get one at list price

The part I wouldnt know is the cost/risk with the IVA/reg

Paying overs in a flip could save cash also.

I’ll try and find out

it might be cheaper to pay for a 'flipped' one or pay over as it could help being 'used' with import costs.
