Ed. Thanks a lot. I will get in touch w him and see what he has. I am aware of the fact that dealers are not allowed to export brandnew cars/trucks. Lot of them registrate the car on somoneelse for a day and then ship it as used.
Not all dealers. Some.

W1N. When i buy a car outside of the EU it works as following:

Purchase
Inlandshipping US to closest port
Portfee US
Insurance
Overseasshipping to Gothenburg
Feeport Gothenburg
-------
I have to pay 10% in Custom on all the costs above added together.
AND
Ontop of all the costs above incl. the the custom, i have to pay 25% in VAT.
Then it has to be transported to Stockholm.
Then it has to be modified a bit to be able to registrate( mod. + reg are apprx. US 1500)

So at the end, the car/truck will be very expensive for me before it is outside of my house. So because of this, i really need to find one not to expensive. I do understand that "you sometimes get what you pay for".
Again, what can happen to a flooded car (freshwater) IN WORSE CASE in the future?

Thanks
Peter
