Import support!

Postby savetheclocktower » Tue Mar 12, 2013 7:49 pm

Hi Guys,

How is best in the group to have a chat with about the import process and how to make it go as smoothly as possible. Think I may have found the right car, Just want to be sure im ticking all the right boxes.

Thanks again to all those who have been more than helpful so far.

Rich :thumbsup:

I would recommend reading Gez's post on this page: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=317

Mark Sutton - memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1239 - has done a website based on his experiences - can be found here: http://delorean-dream.blogspot.co.uk/

Just don't be under any illusions that a USA car is going to be tip top. Be prepared to spend a few thousand on it once it's here, whatever its current alleged condition.

The current Visa rate including a bank loading is:
1 POUND STERLING = 1.443149 UNITED STATES DOLLAR

A bank/wire transfer would be a bit better than that though.

So in short, Tony's right 8-)

Thanks guys. Will have a read. Seems a bill of sale and a valid title is the first port of call to get sent.

And I did that without swearing ;)
My de came in at $1.78 to the £ how times have changed :(
But on a happier note it stops too many coming over and flooding the market :)

I got 1.47 $ to £ - but then VAT was only 15% at the time so that helped.
