How much would it cost to Export a Ford Mustang to Europe, then sell it over there?

I have been to Europe many times, but have never seen Ford Mustangs. Yet people I talk to here think they are cool cars. Does anyone have an idea what the costs would be to export a car to Europe to sell?How much would it cost to Export a Ford Mustang to Europe, then sell it over there?They have ford Mustangs in Germany and some people do buy them but they are expensive to buy %26amp; maintain, they also do not get good gas mileage so they are only really a car for someone that wants a Ford Mustang. I know some people that import both new cars and classic mustangs. Roughly their is a 26% import duty plus a 19% sales tax. So a $40.k Mustang will cost roughly 60.k Euro. Gasoline is 1.90 euro a liter, these becomes a very expensive car.

The car has a sports car price but not the performance to make it very popular, most younger people would rather have a Ford Focus ST, VW Sirocco, Golf, BMW 135, Audi A3, something fast and yet practical that will not cost one a fortune in gas. Diesels are more popular over here.How much would it cost to Export a Ford Mustang to Europe, then sell it over there?It is possible to buy a Stang here in the UK from specialist importers. I have seen one today.

Having driven them in the US I would not want one in the UK.

Steering wheel wrong side is a major drawback as is what you get for your money compared to EU made cars.

A Vauxhall Monaro VXR8 would be a similar price and would be far better in the UK.



Don't get me wrong as I love Stangs old and new but not in the UK please as they don't work here anywhere near as much as they do cruising the strip in Vegas, ahh happy memories.
