the 'exporter' from germany

[mab1957]

What do you estimate is the expense to purchase and export an Alpina from Germany or Japan to Canada or the United States of America?

that is hard to say because it depends on a lot of things, starting with the
car's and the buyer's location and the price of the vehicle. if i would have to
write down a rough figure, i'd say 40-50% on top of the car's price. the more
the car costs the smaller that percentage might get. the usual process:

- research
- inspection of the car and purchase
- logistics before departure (paperwork, transport to the harbour, etc.)
- insured roro or container shipping to the destination country
- logistics after arrival (harbour handling fees, transport to customs)
- modification of the car (if necessary)
- paying government taxes, fees and registration

all that has to be done knowing local import/export regulations/laws to avoid
costly mistakes/delays. if done quick the whole process can take just 1 month.
