Replying to: volvomax (Jun 20, 2008 8:58 am) Export? Why would this used SUV be any different from any other used SUV where most of the values are in free fall.

Replying to: houdini1 (Jun 20, 2008 7:09 pm) To take a vehicle out of the country, one needs a title. To get a title for a new car, it must be registered, and sales tax must be paid. Futhermore, dealerships are sanctioned if they are found selling cars to exporters. Because this car was not labeled as a 'retail sale', there will be no in-service date, and if these cars end up in dealerships for warranty work of any kind before leaving the country, the dealership is charged back. For these reasons dealerships are hesitant to sell new cars for the purpose of export. However, 'slightly' used cars, ie. current model year with only a several thousand miles, are prime candidates for export, and will sometimes bring a premium over the new car price, due to the demand, and the buying power of the Euro vs Dollar.
