Importing

Does anyone know how hard or expensive it would be to import a vehicle from Europe? I'm going there later this summer and I really like the idea of an affordable BMW or Volvo or Audi that runs on diesel and gets 40+ mpg.

Question Re: Importing

You're not looking at just the cost of shipping the car but also it would have to be retrofitted with whatever it needs to pass safety as well as emissions requirements ! Could be quite expensive in the long run and be a huge hassle to boot !

Re: Importing

oldblue65 is on the right track, and I like to add any vehicle you will find for sale in Europe compared to US prices will be much higher and that is without tagging on any extra cost , your idea is thoughtfull but not fesiable

Re: Importing

Way don't you buy a Jetta or passat diesel that can be bought in the US, and you'll save yourself a headache
