I am working in the USA at the moment and will be returning back to the UK next year. I am tempted to buy a Mustang whilst I am out here and then ship it back to the UK. Has anyone had any experience in doing this? Any hints or tips? Anyone out there driving a 2005 - 07 Mustang in the UK? Did Ford honor the warranty? Can you get it serviced without any trouble.
Any help appreciated. Cheers.

For discussions on buying a car and bringing it back, have a look at www.import-car.info/ and their discussion boards http://users.boardnation.com/~import-

In short, you'll need to have been out for a year and owned the vehicle for six months to bring it in free of duty and VAT - which is definitely worth doing and a perk of doing an expat stint in the US

You could also visit the PH Mustangs forum www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?f=105&h=0 for experiences of running Mustangs in the UK
