Smile Hallo from Europe

Hi fellow Mustang riders,

I finally have a good reason to post here
Got my pony this week in US and going to ship to Italy in the next two months... it will be a long wait (shipment, registration, etc...) but it's well worth it! Can't wait to drive it.

Welcome. Don't recall ever having some one from Italy here. How rare are Mustangs in your area?

Welcome! You sure will have one unique ride over there in Italy! But are you planning to mod at all? I imagine it'd cost an arm and a leg for shipping from the states to Europe for something like a tuner...

Mustangs are quite rare here in Italy, because Ford isn't importing them.

There are quite a few enthusiasts, though, who pay the shipment's cost, import duties and VAT, plus the local homologation costs, to drive a Mustang. The final cost for a2011

Sorry, tapped on "send" by mistake

I was writing that the final cost for a 2011 V6, starting from the US cost of 21,000$, is about 37,000$.

It's still chapter than the average sport car here, but you need a real passion to face all the hassle of importing one.

Luckily for me, I DO have that passion :-)
