Buying Advice John Deere 2320 pricing US vs. Europe

[nicki]

Hi, I'm going to buy a new compact. My first choice is a JD 2320 with FEL, MMM and snow bl. But in Europe this one is far to expensive. I think I'll pay appox 22000 US$ for this one in US, but in Europe it is the double! Over 40.000!! Then I'll have to buy an other brand.
Are anybody familiar with this problem? Shipping from US is noe problem. Is there a legal issue for a dealer to sell one to me or is better to buy a second hand? Grateful for any information!

In Europe you have the VAT (value added tax) which I believe is a minimum of 17%. It wouldn't surprise me if there was some other tax on farm equipment. The question is, if you import it yourself, are you going to have to pay those taxes and end up right back at the European price?

No, no. All prices quoted are excluding local vat (Mwst, Mva whatever), and there are no toll on these kind of products. So this if merely a John Deere issue!
