This $1.4 Million Ford GT Resale Will Cost You an Extra $1.2 Million to Export From Europe
This $1.4 Million Ford GT Resale Will Cost You an Extra $1.2 Million to Export From Europe-May 2024

The current generation of the is a , no matter how deeply you’ve pledged yourself to the religion that only worships powerhouses with eight cylinders in a V-shaped formation. But some GTs, like the stunning red one here, pack a few less appealing, and expensive, realities.

recently found this 2018 for 1.2 million euros, or nearly $1.4 million at current exchange rates. The 647-horsepower, 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 supercar is in Germany, according to the listing, and comes with a black interior and 20 miles on the odometer.

But in addition to being listed for nearly triple the MSRP and likely illegal to sell in Ford’s eyes, this Ford GT will also cost more than $1.2 million to export out of Europe at current exchange rates. That price alone is more than double the GT’s base MSRP, at least in the U.S., of , and the cost of both buying and exporting the car would come to just over $2.6 million—the base MSRP plus a couple of , basically.

The thing is, this is one of the few current-generation Ford GTs out there that isn’t for sale through Ford’s for its car, for one main reason: Owners aren’t allowed to resell for 24 months after taking delivery of the car.

Since this one listed on JamesEdition is a 2018, the math says it probably hasn’t gotten out of that two-year window yet. If it’s anything like that have happened in the past couple of years, we may see a lawsuit in the near future over that very customer agreement.

Until then, if Ford didn’t pick you for a GT but you have between $1.4 million and $3 million to burn, your chance has finally come. Truly, congratulations.

For $17,995, Would You Make Happy Memories In This 2011 VW Touareg Hybrid?
For today’s contestant we have a car that—to be perfectly honest with you—I had forgotten even existed. Let’s see if this Touareg hybrid’s price makes it worth remembering once again. So, I received a very complementary email from the seller of last Friday’s . As you will recall, that car...

What Do You Want To Know About The 2018 Volvo XC40?
Volvo began its renaissance a few years ago, first with the big XC90 SUV and the big S90 sedan. They were followed by the midsize XC60, but the true test of the comeback would be the smaller crossover. But I have seen this entry-level luxury promised land, and it has...

Is $900 Too Much To CHiP In For This Wounded 1982 Kawasaki KZ1000P?
Have you ever had to sell a project after having screwed it up royally? That’s the case with today’s Kawasaki, but maybe the seller’s loss can be your gain. Yesterday’s sweet custom ended up with a 65-percent Crack Pipe loss for its $14,000 asking price. That broke the chain of...

At $12,900, Would You Just Tape Over The Odometer On This 2004 Maserati Coupe GT?
At $12,900, Would You Just Tape Over The Odometer On This 2004 Maserati Coupe GT?
Today’s Maserati GT is—hallelujah—a manual. Most of the ones built were the hated-by-me Cambiocorsa models. It’s not all belíssimo however, because there is the issue of its 214K miles, and possibly, its price. Whether it’s a serious stainless stove, a Snap-On spanner, or yesterday’s , there’s just something awesome about...
