That's it, the 7% sale tax you can avoid if exporting the vehicle. Obviously the exchange rate makes a huge difference too, if you time that right it can offset the import costs

I went to Palm Springs in 2007 for the Coachella festival just after Calzaghe fought Hopkins. I saw a Shelby Mustang 500 at a dealership that was a couple years old and just $28k. At the time we were getting $2 to the £1 so £14k plus import costs for a fairly new Shelby 500 was something of a steal.

I only wish I could have afforded it then, the same value car would cost an extra £4.5k with the current exchange rates.
