Buying a C5 in USA from UK

[jimmy]

HI

I plan to buy a C5 after this summer, i live in LONDON UKand C5 are not really easy to find over here.
After surfing on the net (vette site, ebay, forums....) i was thinking to by one from USA, but i don't know the trouble i can get (import, taxes...)

If anybody had allready this experience or know somebody who done it, thank to help me.
I'm looking for (good) dealer address in USa who can arrange shipping.

I'm open to any other solution...

thanks

jimmy

Bonjour!

I was born in Paris myself... No problem, I'm sure your English is fine. I don't have any personal experience exporting cars from the US to Europe but, if you haven't seen it yet, last month's issue of EVO (british car magazine) had an article that included a 'supercar shootout' with a Corvette Z06. In the article, they talked about a company that imports Corvettes to the Uk. They also said the Z06 was 50K Pounds Sterling (OUCH!!!).

Maybe the company they discuss can help you out? Sorry I'm not any more help but it sure is nice to see Europeans that appreciate American performance cars!
