The guy who we bought our last Saturn from does this ... he buys cars at auctions and ships them to Belize and resells them.

Is there any restriction on exporting new/used Mercedes GL450 to Canada!!
 
I am getting conflicting statements from dealerships. I have plenty of online sellers ready to export new Mercedes GL450 to Canada but am not too sure about their authenticity.
 
Any input on export procedures would be appreciated
 
Thanks
 
Ravi

to Canada... from where? I think you might be in the wrong discussion since this one is about buying in the US, then sending to Europe.

I think one of the questions that did not arise here and is very important ---- how can i export a car to Europe and comply with their emissions standard (if th ecar was manufactured in the USA ie X5 BMW - preowned) can i modify these cars here in the USA and send them over?

#21 of 22 Exporting cars to Europe? by nicholas728

Oct 24, 2011 (1:33 pm)

I would like to get into a little side venture of exporting cars to Europe.
 
I understand that cars in the U.S. are much cheaper than they are in Europe, and there is a demand for high end- U.S. cars in Europe.
 
I've thought of starting my own little export firm of cars to europe. I've done a bit of research but have some questions that are hard to find answers for.
 
1. Sometimes modifications have to be done to the cars to export them; I'm assuming they are all very similar modifications. Does anyone know the cost/ time this takes?
 
2. I've read a few discussions about dealers not selling cars for exports. If I buy it in my name, ship it, and transfer ownership, should I have any problems?
 
3. Is there any opportunity for importing European cars in the U.S. to make money as well?
 
Any answers / suggestions would be much appreciated!
 
Thank You,
Nicholas
