Thinking of importing a Mustang from the US
Discussion
Hi,
I go to Florida a couple of times of year and have always hired convertible Mustangs, and have always considered importing back to the UK. I'm not massively hung up on the V8 thing so a V6 (or dare I say an Ecoboost....I hired one in May and I thought it was pretty good) would suffice.
The numbers (even with an allowance for man maths) would be;
2016 V6 Mustang convertible circa $14,000, so £11k
If you use a shipping agent to handle everything it's roughly £3400 (not sure how easy it would be to handle this on my own); this includes handling things in Miami and the UK. Then there is vat and import duty of £3300, so £17k in total (which is more than I had hoped for). Still, I love them and prefer them to most cars in the UK.
Any thoughts, or experiences?
Here is one I hired earlier....
