That's the fun part.

Any car over 30 years is considered classic/vintage/collector and thus void of duties. I will pay 25% sales tax on the sales value of the car, however. the f%&#ers even charge you VAT on the shipping!

Just for fun I looked into a 2002 911 that someone had listed here on PP. the guy was asking around 30 for the car but the import duties were $45K and then sales tax on top of that!! 150% of the value of the car!! what's even more scarry is that you could probably importat that car, pay the taxes and STILL sell if for profit!

To me the fact that Porsches were basically unchanged up to 88, together with how reliable they are, makes them ideal import cars for this country.
