2000 Ferrari 360 Modena 6-speed Rosso Corsa on Black

If everything checks out this will be gone by the morning.....

 

Amazing deal for a 6 speed. Somebody snatch this up!

 

Would there be much difficulty in getting this back into the US?

"Originally a US car" would mean it should not be a problem to bring it back South....

GLWS!!

I agree, that's a NICE price....

 

Importing these is expensive

Figure another 6k at a minimum just to get across the line

Shipping from Calgary, 2.85% duty, and broker fees. Then you get home and have to pay state sales tax, which would be another 3k for me. So add 9k to the number for me.

Car looks nice, sure wish this was closer to home, as I would love to buy it

 

$6k to import doesn't seem like much (10% of the price here and this car seems priced very well for what it is). Just an FYI to other thread readers, many states don't charge sales tax on such a registration (AZ for example).

 

Well, you pay sales tax on ANY out of state purchase when you get tags...

That's not an import fee.

I have never had to pay an import broker, as my Canadian delivered Ferrari was already in the states when I bought it.

 

Well done on opening your post count

 

Don't you pay state sales tax on *any* purchase, whether in state or out of state? I think that's what the blue book at the DMV is for?

Not in Illinois. You pay tax on the vehicle when you register it, not when you buy it. Obviously when buying from a dealer in Illinois this is all done in-house but when out of state you pay up when you get back home.

 

Importing a Motor Vehicle | U.S. Customs and Border Protection

"Re-Importing A Previously Exported Vehicle
A vehicle taken from the United States for non-commercial, private use may be returned duty free by proving to CBP that it was previously owned and registered in the United States. This proof may be a state-issued registration card for the automobile or a bill of sale for the car from a U.S. dealer. Repairs or accessories acquired abroad for your vehicle must be declared on your return and may be subject to duty.
In some countries, it will be difficult or impossible to obtain unleaded fuel for your vehicle. If the vehicle is driven using leaded gasoline, it will be necessary for you to replace the catalyst and oxygen sensor upon its return to the U.S. To avoid the expense of replacing these parts you may obtain authorization from EPA to remove the catalyst and oxygen sensor before the vehicle is shipped overseas. The EPA telephone number for these authorizations is (202) 564-2418. When the vehicle returns to the U.S., the original catalyst and oxygen sensor will need to be reinstalled. However, you may now reenter your U.S. version vehicle into the U.S. without bond, upon your assurance that you will have the reinstallation performed."

 

^^Exactly, you're not going to pay an import duty on a car originally registered in the US.

So you have sales tax and shipping, same as anywhere. Customs broker is inexpensive.

Looks like a great deal!

 

Smoking deal for a red gated car assuming everything checks out.

 

In California you would be paying around 6000.00 for sales tax and registration.

 

Ok but that doesn't make any difference if your end goal is to register the car?

From what I seen there's a sales tax levied on the private party sale transaction, but since it cannot be captured at the point of the transaction (say when the car gets sold and money changes hands privately) it is captured at the registration time...but the value is the same regardless?

Hence it would not matter whether you buy it from out of state or not as long as you intend to register it in your home state you pay the tax. If the state doesn't have sales tax I would assume that there's no sales taxes levied but there are registration fees/etc.

why dont you guys make another thread for arguing facts on importation..

glws to another albertan !

 

Are you finally buying ???

Smoking deal for you !

 

Oh, sorry for going entirely off topic and trying to help out the OP!

GLWS

 

Just a PSA - not in every state, check your states laws (in Arizona - as one example - you do not pay sales tax on purchases from private parties either in state or out of state).

Oh yeah - OP GLWS!

Sounds like a great gated ferrari at a fair price.

 

One would need to do this for any ~$60k vehicle purchase, regardless of where the sale took place. Not a reason to consider/not consider this car, which is a beautiful example.

 

Beautiful 3-pedal car and looks well cared for. Best wishes for your sale.
