Not going to happen.

EDIT-To elaborate a bit more. Do you guys think you've discovered something new and never thought of? People ship cars all the time. It's not cheap, but it's not that expensive. You can ship a car or truck to just about anywhere in the world for under $20,000 and in many cases under $10,000. People aren't going to pay $100,000 for a $15,000 vehicle no matter where it is.

Bingo.

Don't you guys think there would be a sh*t ton of people buying vehicles here then shipping them overseas?

I'm sure if you could really get that much for it, there wouldn't be much temptation as it would be on a boat. Tell your friend I have some ocean front property in Arizona I'm looking to unload if he needs any.

No man, we are well aware that we are not discovering an untouched market, however, until now, we haven't realized that there was an opportunity to sell these trucks overseas, however small it may be. My truck is up for 35K, rediculous as that may sound, if someone wants it and is willing to pay, great, but I don't have my hopes up.

i realize that its most likely not going to happen but there is lots of items that we ship back and forth to sell that locally to each other are cheap but on the other continent are sought after and rare call us stupid if you want but if he has a acquaintance down there thats looking for a SBC for example if i pay say 200 bucks for it and shipping is 250 typically he turns around and sells it for at least shipping plus 3 times what i had to pay for it.

so you do the math on what a 15,000 truck with 17,000 shipping we would try and sell it for considering after its shipped to send it to a customizing shop to have it converted to right hand drive it roughly around 15,000 once its in Australian. you can do the math (we haven't tried shipping a vehicle yet but sooner or later we will have to considering I'm looking into moving down there)
