There is profit that you can make, but its not all that easy. I am originally from europe and have looked into this. I am not sure how easy it would be to profit, since these cars do not go selling all that fast. There is a guy here in Mass that is selling one for 17000 for over a year now. It is in really nice condition as well, so they do not sell all that crazy although a lower price might move it. It does cost around 1500 to ship it depending where but from hamburg Hafen to boston it would cost around that much. Another thing you have to do it pay an import company to import the vehicle since there are regulations to be followed when it comes to the border partrol. If the vehicle is less that 25 years of age you have to pay a tax on the vehicle, and if it is 25 years or older its tax free to import, but it still i trouble. It can be done, but it is not as clear cut as buy it in europe ship it here and sell it. You would want to look at the car, granted I have family that can look at cars for me but it still takes time to find a vehicle buy it and bring to a port for shipping. Then you have to have all the papers in order. The other thing is that the G model does not sell that cheap in europe either. A nice vehicle with a couple things here and there will be around 3000 euros which translated to about 4500 dollars.
