    Just to ask what's the interior like? Is it typical US design with more buttons, flip switches and gizmos then a Rocket?

    Horrid. Cheap cheap horrid plastics with no soul. The interior is not styled to be a Mustang. It could be in any other car.

    :cool:

    Well All
    Thanks to everybody for there help with my question. I have got some results but its not looking good.

    I took a Ford mustang GT 2005 4.6ltr as an example

    Cost to buy in the states = 20,000 dollers cost of shipping to Irl 2000Dollers Total cost in euro = 16,068 euro

    1) Customs duty = 10% on cost and shipping = 17674.8 euro

    2) VAT = 21% on cost shipping and customs =21386.50 euro

    3) VRT on this car = 10,350 euro

    Total cost of 31,736.5 euro

    So a car that cost 14,609 euro in the states ends up double to bring to ireland whats the story with rip off ireland.

    Note: I felt talking to the VRT people they pulled this figure out of there ass!!!

    Thanks again for the replys but i could'nt give Gov another 10,000 for nothing

    Considering the car I think €32k is not a bad "on the road" price, it is the same price as a normal family saloon.

    Downsides are though that the V8 will rob you on petrol, insurance and tax. Could also be a problem finding someone who has worked on such a car before rather than letting some FAS apprentice at the local dealership have a go at it. Spare parts could also be expensive and lack of availability could mean that your car is off the road until they arrive. LHD might be problematic when using car parks, etc and there would be a very limited cliental waiting to buy it after you get tired of it.
