I am sure you found the title of this article pretty interesting. Just like the title, this entire buying and exporting process is very interesting.
If you are an American and are planning a vacation to Europe, and just happen to be in the market for a new car, then you are in for a treat. Europe has some incredible programs when it comes to buying cars and then transporting it to the US. Volvo has taken the most advantage of this program.
What it does is it that once you have shown interest in any of their cars, they will fly you to Europe. You can then collect your new Volvo either from their Gothenburg factory in Sweden or any other official delivery location in Europe. Once you are done with that, you can drive your car on the roads of Sweden.
Then drop off your new Volvo back in Gothenburg or any official drop-off location in Europe. You need to sit back and relax as Volvo will take care of all paperwork, including import duties and excise taxes, before shipping your new Volvo home to your local Volvo dealer. Volvo is able to do this because if you buy the car from Europe, Volvo is exporting your car and not their car because they have already sold the car to you in the continent. The tax paid by the individuals is relatively very less compared to the tax paid by these car manufacturers. On the other hand, some cars are usually expensive in US than Europe, so taking advantage of such programs are justified.
