as for why cause I wanted to.lol I bought it here in IL. basicaly I shipped it. cost me an arm and a leg. But grey martket is a little more shady then what I did. I found a shipping comapny, loaded the car myself onto a container along with other belongings. watched the container be put on the ship, then I flew to europe, basicaly it was port to port shipping. I unloaded the car off the container and drove to my place of stay. it took awhile to find and trust the companys. a few were shady and a few were great sounding companys but cost to much for me. they provided insurence (at a cost of course). heres a link that got me started.
