What kind of vehicle do you drive?

Mars,

What's that tax that you have to pay in the States when you register the vehicle on the road. It's like 5% or something?

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.
