@Engeljizzle Hello, typically the US customs charge 3% on the value of the vehicle since it was made in Germany and not in the US. Then, you will have the state sales tax where ever you live.
What costs are associated with importing the car to the US? Any big taxes we need to know about?
@Trappistmonk Yes sold in Texas (see the picture of the price tag). I think the change MPH/KLM can be done by the driver in the settings, because the main dial is still in MPH (see picture). I have not done it as it was in Canada when I bought it. I never had any problem with the cam actuator. As for the service records, I won't be able to scan them all before the end of the auction as I'm working and considered essential and can not be back home to do that.
Was this originally a US car? Where/when was the change from mph/kmh made? Has this been documented? Can you post the service records individually? I would like to be able to read the records. Has the cam actuator been addressed/fixed (expensive job and they fail often)
Bid in the amount of $100,000
@Mercyhealth Yes I have an importer name that import from and to the USA from Canada and he can do all the paperwork and arrange for trucking.
Do you have a known method to transport the GT3RS to the United States? Especially now with the current state of affairs
It is not mentionned in the listing but I have the original rubber caps for the clutch and brake pedals. I installed the Rennline aluminum ones for better comfort when driving the car.

@Trappistmonk I'm sorry to say yes, only one key. The previous owner lost one.
Only 1 key?
Thanks for the question. The paint meter readings are ranging from 4.5 to 5.5 all over the car except where the 3M coating is applied (hood), which is normal. For the overrev report, it was measured last time I took it to Porsche for service as I wanted to check it out. I was there and they told me nothing over level 1. I tried to contact the dealer yesterday to get the report but they are currently close because of the corona virus situation.
Paint meter readings? And Overrev?
