French taxe is not 7% or 14% but 20%
....
French gvt sucks!!!!!

But you are an expat! Should you pay all the taxes as if the car was a brand new one? Search info about that, in your case in Spain you only pay the registration, not the DUA, VAT, etc...

About guys importing, search a cheaper one

Normally if you are EXPAT and owned the car for more than 6 months, you should not be charged VAT and duty.
At least this is for UK.
I see Spanish govt is a thief too...registration is crazy expensive.
Thanks God it is only a few hundred pounds here in the UK!

Ok guys
I’m a lucky guy, because of an expat
Plus Navy will take care of the shipping...

So
-I won’t pay the French TVA taxe of 20% because I already paid the 7ish% of US MS and I was US resident for more than a year
-I won’t pay the custom taxe because of the 6 month US title, 1 year US resident, car more than 6000kms...
-I won’t pay the shipping (included back to FR with my Navy container)

I still have to pay the carbon taxe 10500€ (-10%/year) will be 8500€ for me,
I still have to pay the 8000€ super luxury taxe (car will be > 51 fiscal HP, won’t describe the detail of that taxe, complicate)
The car will be considered like first immatriculation (first FR title) after homologation
So I have to pay like new and not used... :-(
And I have to pay the mods to be EU conform (~6000€)

Lucky because total will be like 85000€ instead of 100000ish via private import....

That´s much more acceptable

About that: "And I have to pay the mods to be EU conform (~6000€)", just minor changes:

- Rear tailights

* Blinker different than brake light and yellow.
* Add fog rear light.

- And add a small blinker to the fender / rear mirrors.

This in Spain will be less than 1500€ because they use the rear lights, splitting them in two parts...:

- exterior half to blinkers
- interior half, fog light to left and rear light to right.

This can be done in a week.

Si tu as besoin je peux te mettre en contact avec le garage qui va le faire a ma ZL1

In the 6000€
Are also included the conformity tests to the 2 différents FR organisms
(1500€ registration) plus the pipe switch (sound and emissions)...
I will follow your EU homologation;-)

No, I think google missed that translation. Driver Escape is probably more literally "The driver that caused the crash drove merrily along and didn't stop and will go scot free even though their error caused the wreck."

[DavidStrLondon]

I used to think Italy had stupid rules and tax, but Spain and France are even worse...
Insane amount of tax and money to register a car...
And ik it is not a cheap car, but it is not a Ferrari!Eu is really dying under its own bureaucracy and taxation.
UK is a lot cheaper/easier when it comes to cars.
£250 year tax for the LHD Camaro, and full conversion including registration and all the necessary mods to be done is about £2000 incl road tax...

US is best for cars
FR sucks and they kill us with taxes
(Same with the gas!!!)
