W1N,

Had to p/u some parts yesterday so I spoke with the manager at the dealer. The deal is like before, if you want to by used, there's no problem for them to facilitate in getting the vehicle shipped, otherwise, on a new vehicle, you will need to find a valid person & address in the U.S. to whom this new vehicle is suppose tyo be registered to, the dealer would then issue a "MSO", which is sort of like a temporary title, and the vehicle will be titled properly once it reaches the destination state (obviously this will not happen).

The whole point of doing an out-of-state sale is to alleivate the sales tax, and I was told that once the "MSO" is issued at the time of sale, the trucking company can actually p/u the vehicle from the selling dealer to the port of your choice.

So your intention of adding mods to the vehicle before crossing the pond is only going to complicate matters, unless you have a very dear friend state-side to oversee the entire process. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thanks a great deal!!!

I'm working on a couple options currenly. So I'm hoping there is still a slight chance of getting a brand new one. Otherwise I have to start looking for a used one that is as new as possible.

btw, does that person in US have to be living in the same state as the dealer? Because I have few friends who might be willing to help me out.

Next, when the truck is registered to that person and the MSO is issued, the dealer would send it to Lingenfelter for little tune-up. Once finished I will come to States (I'll have business trips over seas every now and then) and test it before sending it to Finland. I have contact who has sent numerous H2's over here, so he'll take care of the sending etc... How does this sound?

One thing I didn't get... So, if the MSO is issued to a person in different State than the dealer, there would not be a sales tax? Why would anubody buy a truck from your home state? Could you clarify.

What do you mean over see the whole process? I think what you just described there is not much to be over seen.

Thanks again for your time!!!
