Hi there,
I'd love some advice from anyone in the know. I have a GX 470 that I'm quite fond of. I'd like to ship to Europe, travel in and out of the Schengen region for a few years before ultimately getting a digital nomad visa in Portugal, Croatia, Spain or Germany, and staying there for a few more years (I work from my computer anywhere). I know I can get my vehicle into Europe easily on an temporary import permit, and I have read there are numerous VAT and taxes that would have to be dealt with, but I can't seem to find what those figures are.
The GX is only worth about $15k, so I couldn't justify spending $5-10k in taxes to get it legal over there, but if it was a few grand, I'd definitely do it so as not to have to buy an over priced European Prado or similar.
Just curious if anyone has done this or knows the costs associated with trying to take an American registered vehicle to Europe on more than a temporary import permit.
Thank you!
