Importing.....
Discussion
its very difficult to buy brand new direct from a dealearship in most states, by law/agreeement they arent allowed to sell unless you have a US postal address.
There are ways around this like, getting a US friend to purchase for you, I beleive that is what VHR has done in the past. Not sure if the same law applies to used vehicles
what car are you after ?

- I'll bell them tomorrow..See you over on the HSV boards If you want anything new from the US I can give you details of the guy I use. He buys the car then transfers ownership to you, you cannot walk into a US dealership and buy a new car unless you have an american postal address.
The advantages of doing this is you can save a bit of money on the duty and VAT as the car is secondhand and therefore not worth the full invoice price, I usually have an invoice for about $5,000 under the price paid new.
As Viper explained once the car leaves the US then GM will not warrant the car or do any recall stuff, however with the new C6 according to Stratstones they would be happy to carry out servicing and repairs on C5/C6 Corvettes. Unlikely they will do warranty work on non-UK supplied cars though.
Importing is very easy if you follow the simple rules and it is made so much easier using someone in the US to do that end of the deal. for example when I brought in my Rumblebee truck last year I didn't see it until I went to collect it in Liverpool!
If you want the full story p.m. me with your phone number and I will call you for a chat.
