Searching for C5 Z06

[Flocki]

Hello,

I introduced me and my mission in the "Welcome"-board.
Short discription:
going to Miami @ 23th Feb 2008
objective: Get a nice C5 Z06 and bring it to Germany.

Don´t know where to buy, how to pay, which model I should take....

Some thoughts about the "perfect" one:
- black or yellow outside
- red or black/red inside
- built 2002 or above
- under 40k miles

If some money still remains after the deal, I want to invest in some goodies.
Exhaust, Air Intake, Headers?

But at first - the car

Don´t want to spend more than 28K USD, have to pay the shipping and taxes in Germany, and that´s a nice amount of money the German Customs and Tax Office demands from me.

13300 miles , a friend just decided to sell this week, bad back.

If you work out a deal on the one in Dunedin Florida you can drive it to the ship in Miami. It's about a 5 hour ride on the open highway. It would be a fun ride in your new Z. I made a similar trip from Miami to Tampa when I bought my first Vette a few years ago.

I´m not sure if this is allowed to me.

When he (private) sells the car, he takes the number plates away, right?
So I don´t have any plates or going to organize them, the car shall only be for export (don´t have to pay the sales tax!).
And without plates...that ride will get the interest of every policemen

Correct me if I´m wrong!

In most states you can get a Temp Tag if you buy short term Liability Insurance! PS I have a 01 Z06 Black on Black with 34,000 miles. It has had some Damage,But it was repaired properly by me personally, I'm a I-Car Certified Technician!! I bought it and repaired it ex-specially for myself!! But unfortunately the Car business has been tough the last year so I will sell it!!

Yea you should be able to get a 30 day temporary paper license tag that would expire, but by then the car would be in Germany!

Some private sales may allow you to keep the official metal tag with you and mail it back to them. It's up to the seller though, and only good for a few days at most.

[Flocki]

Anyway, must I pay these strange sales taxes if I get a temp tag?
Don´t wanna play around with the Zed in Florida, we´re going to have a rental.
It´s just for bringing it to the harbour. If the seller would allow us to take his old plates for that drive - then I can spread my thoughts on privates, too!

add:
The exterior colour of the car is not really important. I have seen a blue one on a dealers page and I would take it.
