Need some help with Florida dealers

Have you checked with a shipper to overseas ports?

You have identified the reason for the rule: a $51,900 vehicle would be $75,500, which could mean nothing more than it costs $23,600 to put the car on a boat. Seems like an outrageous charge to me just to sail a boat with your car across the ocean(s).

The cost to ship it in a container is roughly $3500 not including insurance. They just like to jack up the prices here because they know people have the money.

Anyways, just got off the phone with corporate and they have confirmed the c7 can not be exported for private use after delivery.

That restriction/actual cost matches my memory for situations like this although at least in the past US military (of a certain rank) could and often did have personal vehicles accompany them to an overseas assignment and it did not make a difference if the vehicle was a day or a decade old. I suspect that is still true.

Of course the vehicle is titled in their name and has to be for a certain amount of time (say, a year) up to the duration of the assignment. Not particularly relevant, but the insurer is often Lloyds of London. Yes, that Lloyds.
