I did a little research a few years back wen thinking about (or day dreaming about) getting a Shelby Mustang and apparently if I buy a car from a dealer to export to the UK, I don't have to pay this tax.
The sad thing is I would have to pay for the shipping (£2k), then I'd have to pay 10% import tax in the UK and then 20% VAT (sales tax) on top of all that. It's a lot of tax but it still works out cheaper than buying from a US car importer.
When you buy a vehicle from an auto dealership here in the States, I believe the sales tax is something like 7%, but if you trade something in, when figuring sales tax, the price of the trade in is deducted from actual price you pay for the new vehicle. For example: if your trade in is worth $15,000 and the new vehicle costs you $25,000, you only pay sales tax on the difference = $10,000 or say $700. That's one of the advantages of trading in a vehicle on a new one, the tax savings, but you're really better off just retailing it yourself, because dealerships don't usually give you what your vehilcle is worth.
Too bad that the taxes are so fucking high over there on buying imports.

We drive about 2 hours into work each day (well each day we choose to go) and back so its a dream and they are hot miles so its great for a diesel. I was stoked they were about 39k when they first came out with auto and D turbo about 28k for petrol manual. I couldnt really warrant that and am well over changing gears.I want something that wakes me when we are there;D.
I went on the internet and mine was there for 28 with only 6 thousand kilometers on the clock. was a new for old insurance job as it had the rear quarter panel and rear door smacked in. So I saw the photos, they fixed it, got the engineers certificate and I took over with 5 year warranty and 8 months rego still in order and got it for 26 cash. Hyundai are great too, they just replaced the computer and the cd for free.It goes like shit out of a shanghai too. Going to set up for our double mattress in the back and take her on a months run soon I hope. :)

You're either joking (my guess) or you're filthy rich. :appl:

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
I have no idea how this started but I have 4 cars now and a Vespa... :confused:
I swear I've never been a car guy. I mean I like 'em but it wasn't in my plans to have these many cars or a Vespa. I think I've sub-conciously become a car collecter?
The only brand new cars I bought were the Jeep & the Camaro. The Vespa was new also.
99 Camaro SS
02 Mercedes C230 Sport Coupe
05 Ford Mustang
07 Jeep Grand Cheeroke (HEMI-Limited)
10 Vespa GTS 300

You must have a lot of space to park your vehicles, i'd love to have Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4, with a Hemi, i'll likely trade my '09 Jeep Wrangler in on one in the next year or so.
