Dollar in the toilet...Porker bargains?

[Irish]

There was a thread on here earlier in the week about a number of forum members looking at CGTs in the US due to the favourable exchange rate.

So, are there bargains to be had stateside right now? Anyone have an examples?

I found 29 on Autotrader.com from $315K [that's circa £160k before shipping, importation and conversion costs...]

WOAH, 06 911 for 40K at a stealers.

Those CGT's make Gallardo's look big money!!

I didn't even realise that they made them in Guards and Seal (thought it was only black, yellow and silver) - but there they are, brand new and unsold despite being made in 2005...

Cannot imagine why they never sold though - shortage of wealthy American car enthusiasts that can drive a manual or is it simply not [ahem] bling enough for the US market?

dont forget vat @17.5% of total price ie shipping,insurance,car price etc
CGT are in all colours,red and black commanding a bit more of a prem.Alot of the cars on the link are sold already,at least 7 cars coming into the uk in the next month

I'm tempted to find something like this and bring it over what would it cost to bring in and register and old car from the US? IS it the same as Europe where if over 10 yrs there's no tax to pay;
