Importing a Mustang from the USA

[moio84]

Hi guys,

I want to buy a Mustang 2007-2009 V8 GT, leather seats, manual, less than 70k mi. In UK these seem to be going for around £15,000.00. The same car in the US is around £8000.00. ($13000)

I got a quote from shipmycar.com of £3000.00 all in and I think that includes everything to get you on the road, inc tax,mods etc! So it seems I'm £4000 better off doing it this way.......hmm sounds a bit too good to be true.

Anyone got any experience of the above? Any tips? I would hopefully buy the car remotely, apparently ship my car can buy the car for me, doing a full check on the car for £200.00

The £4k difference seems worth the headache, but again! Looking for some opinions.

Thanks guys!

Lee.

It looks all inclusive, but you're saying on top of the car purchase price there is an additional 20%???

Ok, well thats put a spanner in the works! I might as well buy one in the UK. But sadly I haven't got 15k and only want the V8

I might go in a completely different direction and and get the Z4 coupe on a 2007.
