Hi, Harry! Welcome to the Mustang Source!

I was in Germany last year (Emmerich on the Rhine River). Wish I would have had a 5.0L Mustang while on the Autobahn (had a very slow Volvo rental car).

There is a very big Mustang club in the Netherlands with about 1700 members. Not sure if you are close to the Dutch border, but if so, you may want to look into it. They do quite a few track events at Spa and at the Ring. I visited with their president at his home in Almere, Netherlands last year and he visited my home a few years earlier when he was in the USA. Very nice group of Mustang fans in Europe!

 

Yes, you can save a lot of money when you import the car by yourself.
But, if my dealer do all the things, i have no worries.
I only must go to the dealer, pay the money and take the car.
My dealer told me, you must pay the car in america, plus transportation (1000$), plus customs (10%), plus german-tax (19%) and the conversion (1500€) for german law. And of course the winning for the dealer.
For myself it was the better way.

 

Hello Five Oh Brian,
i live in the south of germany near munich, so it's 500 miles to the Netherlands.
The "Autobahn" in germany is mostly speed limited (i think 70%), but when it's no speedlimit you can have a lot of fun with the Mustang.

 

Hello Harry... I was in Germany, with my wife and two children, from 1979 to 1983. I had a 1979 Mustang 5.0 Cobra. We lived near Frankfurt, in Braunshardt. We still miss the wonderful food, the people and of course, I miss the autobahn going back and forth to the Rhein Main Air Base every day. Very beautiful country to drive in. Best wishes with your Mustang!

And, your English is much better then my German

 

I understand your point. I just brought over a 2011 and picked it up in Frankfurt by way of Bremerhaven a few months ago. It was a major PAIN IN THE A$$. I didn't have to pay customs or tax because I'm a tourist, plus the car wasn't staying in Germany. Greece is closer to me, but with all thats going on in Greece right now, I didn't want their hands on my car, plus Greece charges an extra 500 euros for port charges. Which is a rip off.

 

Hello,
thank you for your best wishes!!
America is also a very nice country to drive through.
Last year i make a tour with my wife from Los Angeles to New York an it was great.
We have a V6 Mustang Convertible from Herz and drive 6500 miles in 3,5 weeks.

 

Nice German Stangs!!!

 

Welcome aboard Harry. Nice ride, and i especially like the black square license plate you guys have over there.

 

please take to the ring and give us a lap time!!

 

Welcome!

 

That's it you post ***** !

 

haha I'm a lazy post ***** too

 

Thank you all for the nice greeting

:n ice:

 

Welcome and enjoy the autobahn, where it's not speed limited anyway.

 

Dang i never even thought of eBay shopping this go round ... That is a nice price and winter driving is a bit noisy for me most times with everyone screaming "we are going to die" LOL just kidding bout that ..
But i hope you let us know how that work on the car when and if you take it out in cold and snow/ice ..
enjoy

 

When I driving on ice and snow, I'll let you know.
Today we have 20 degrees celsius (68° F).
I think we get the first snow in January

 

Hi,
this was an event near by me in september.
The first meeting took place at my car dealer and he drove the white Shelby with gray stripes

Welcome Harry! Like some others here I have spent some time in Germany. I was in Kirchgoens (I think that's how it was spelled) just North of Frankfurt from 1988 thru 1990. Beautiful country and great people! I can't wait to make it back one day. I haven't found any good currywurst here at home .
Anyway, love your Mustang and if you are ever in North Texas give a shout so I can repay the hospitality I enjoyed in Germany.

 

Obviously there are a lot of Mustang enthusiasts where you live. I love the white with the gray stripes!
