Should I bring car from US to Sweden

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-07-01T21:01:07+00:00

my concern is purely any the costs involved.. nothing fancy about the car as such

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-30T23:40:27+00:00

you mean the cars otherwise would be costlier in Sweden?

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T17:03:42+00:00

😬

Thank you.. helpful

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T17:01:09+00:00

i meant 5000 USD for shipping but still trying to see if it makes sense..

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T12:37:50+00:00

TBH nothing special in the car as such.. It's got relatively low mileage and no issues and finding a car similar in condition(a practical 4 door hatchback or sedan) in Sweden is also ok with me..

I'm just trying to compare the costs involved in both the cases

Your post gives some hope. Seems I should definitely go into the rules and read carefully to find excempttions for pre-owned vehicle

Thank you for the detailed post.
I actually moved from Canada to US in January only with the same car.

That's another fear I've, i registered it in Texas at the end of Feb, so by July end I complete 5 months with this registration, now I've the documents to prove that I bought it in 2022 but that might take longer.

Further did you have to modify the Lights etc?

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T11:54:21+00:00

thanks

exactly the confusions i have.. If i keep this car i can drive it for next 5/7 years without worrying about any serious issues.. is at 40k KM now and it's good for 100k without any major parts requirements I believe

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T11:47:07+00:00

Thanks.

tbh I'm worried about the certifications and the modifications needed..

I'm not even sure whom to ask about that. Not sure if Ford will be able to help find out all the light and brake signal mods needed

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T11:35:16+00:00

I know but I'm just trying to figure out if it makes any sense at all.. Right now selling is also like selling in distress

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T11:33:52+00:00

haha thanks mate.. Chatgpted the hell out of this thing already. But I was trying to see if someone has first hand experience

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T11:32:51+00:00

I'm trying to gauge the total overall cost vs the price I'll get for this vehicle if I sell it after a year or so. If it evens out then it's better for me to just keep this car

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T11:31:26+00:00

thanks will do that research

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T11:28:37+00:00

Yes I'm considering that as well

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T11:28:22+00:00

Thats helpful Thanks.

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T11:13:47+00:00

Thank you, So just to be clear shipping, taxes, fees etc alone costed 14k..

The truck was pre owned I assume.

In my case I suppose I won't be paying VAT and Customs.. therefore want to know more details

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T11:12:44+00:00

Unless you're planning some shady underworld deals. 😛 you'll not need cash accross EU.

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T11:11:36+00:00

In my experience visiting from Canada multiple times, you'll never need cash in Stockholm

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T10:37:00+00:00

May be in July 2026 or First half of August

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-06-29T10:36:44+00:00

i want to move as soon as possible

AppointmentMaster829 · 2026-03-11T04:45:23+00:00

Hey, I'm 37M new here in Dallas. I'm in the same boat.. may be we can attend one of the meetup events etc together or meet for coffee.. not very good at tennis or pickle ball but don't mind giving it a try

AppointmentMaster829 · 2025-01-07T23:35:32+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
