Shipping Auto from the States - is it worth it?

15 years ago

Has anyone shipped a car or SUV from the states? The information I'm getting is that it will cost anywhere from 1.5 - 2 mil (HUF) just to register the vehicle in Hungary. It just doesn't make sense to me that it would cost $7500 - 10k USD to have a car in the country you plan on living in. That doesn't even include the $2500 - 3500 shipping cost. My wife is even a Hungarian citizen if that matters. I'm glad we didn't do it without researching or we might have been forced to pay or send the car back if this information is true. Anyone run into this problem? Or have any advice? Thank you in advance.
