3300 Euro are 3.600 $ currently.
So the originally 1.000$ empty body cost you 4.600$ till it was at your home.

You guys don't have an Excuse #3: Too far away...

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

lets say it makes us laugh sometimes.

If it is too far away then you don't want it badly enough IMHO.

 

[polara71]

Because there is no real excuse. Only a reason and that is you really don't want it

 

[commando1]

That's why it's called an Excuse and not a Reason.

 

[polara71]

So they're not real? By your definition?

I have bought 4 cars unseen, 3 from US and the last -71 300 from Holland. My intension has been to have fun during the process and not losing money. I have kept the cars for 2-4 years and then new dreams had to be fulfilled. Even if the car wouldn't be in promissed shape it could be a deal without losing any money. I have been very lucky to deal with honest carpeople. But I wouldn't do that today with the high USD value and of course i have found my dreamcar.
If the USD keeps going up perhaps cars will move back to US again. I have read about some hemi cars that has been sold back.

a bunch of rare Hemi cars were shipped back to the US in 2004-2006 in example. One of the most known cars is the FC7 plumcrazy Hemi Challenger RT convertible which had more than 10 owners in Sweden during its stay. A few Forwardlook cars returned to the US, too. My old 1958 Chrysler 300 D with EFI (it was gone but a genuine EFI car) is back in the US, too.

But not many cars returned lately.

it is something most of our US friends don't realize. There is big difference in pricing a car being in the US compared to it being in Europe with all transportation, loading taxes custom etc paid.

I sent a few cars to Europe in the late '90s, so I'm fully aware of all of the BS taxes your governments levy on a car or truck. I would assume the $9,000USD price on the Polara INCLUDED the fees and such. If not, it's far, far too much money for that.

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

sure it is a price the car being taxed.
