General Images
History Vehicle was originally sent to Italy, registered August 1987. In 2001, vehicle was driven to Spain and it spent the majority of its life in the Barcelona area. I imported the truck in May 2015 from that owner. The vehicle had a 2.5TD installed (original) which quickly bit the dust so I swapped to a 200TDI and I spent 2015-2016 refurbishing the vehicle to the current spec. I really wanted a Left Hand Drive and was glad to find this vehicle. Other than the engine, it was really in nice condition. Currently it only has 67K miles on it. If I had to do this again though I would not import a vehicle, too many hidden fees and costs that I didn't plan for. I would just find a nice vehicle in the states.
Details

Dock storage fees, handling fees, import fees, customs fees, registration fees, etc. I paid an import "consultant" $200 that was recommended to me by the seller. All he did was set me up with someone at K-Line (the shipping company). He said all said and done $2500 max. By the time I was done it was close to 5K to get the truck from Barcelona to my house in Austin.

$700 of mine was transportation from the prior owner to shipping port. I am picking my truck up at the port state side.
