Anyone know about importing a car?
Posted by: Rasher on 20 January 2005
I nearly bought a new car late last year, but something stopped me at the time - thankfully.
Now I've just seen the new 2005 Ford Mustang!
The web site is here.
The new 2005 Mustang comes in 2 flavours (sorry; Flavors): a 4.0L V6 at $19,000 list price (todays currency conversion = £10,150), or the GT 4.6L V8 at $24,995 (£13,350). So...a decent American muscle car for the price of a Micra basically. 0-60 in 5.1 secs - 300 BHP. And a proper V8 too! Take a walk into a dealer over there and get 15% off that don't forget.
Anyone know about how to go about importing one personally and cutting out the middle men grey importers?

Rasher - have you checked out the insurance situation for your proposed new gas guzzler (<g>
Also how easy is it to get service and support for them in the UK - or do you just ship it back to the US to get the oil changed?

This importer from Manchester have it in stock at £21,750 for the V6 ready to drive away. That's a very nice little profit margin they have there then. All I need to find out is who does their conversions for them
Surely if you're going to buy in to the mustang legend you'd be buying the V8 version?
Or (in celebration of the forum's now working search engine) one of these:
