FURAFURA Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hi Guys It is good to find people that share the same love for Shelbys that I have, I've been reading your posts for quite a while and is a good source of info, thanks for that. Guys, I live in Puerto Rico (Caribbean) and even though we are a territory of the U.S. we have to pay a very high import tax in any car costing more than $30,000 here in P.R. For example a 2010 Shelby will cost in P.R. $68,000(50,000 base + 18,000 taxes) same thing with Roushs and Saleens they all cost $70,000 or more!! They sold the only P-51 here in PR, 2 weeks ago for $99,000 and I have seen 2 KRs at $135,000 in some Ford dealerships down here. So guys you are lucky up there! Anyway, I will get my hands on one of the 2010 GT500(black/black is my favorite) but I wonder if I can get that one with the interior in black/white. If anyone have that info please let me know. Last question; Can we put a engine push start button on the console? like in the ongoing model, if so, where? Sorry for my English, Spanish is my first language!!! Thanks!!

The outside stripes match the interior stripes. If you want white stripes on the interior you need to order white stripes on the outside. I would love to see some pics of Mustangs in P.R. !

KingCobra666 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Welcome to the forum! Don't worry about your english; your's is better than some others I've seen on here written by Americans! Residents of PR are Americans.... Fura, welcome! Your English is plenty good. 18k in taxes...geezus! That is harsh. I guess with no income tax they really hit you hard elsewhere.

FURAFURA Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hey guys here some pictures of my 99 GT Im panning to trade in pretty soon for a 2010 GT500!! Im still guessing where to install the engine push start button on a 2010 Shelby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FURAFURA Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 King Cobra666 It's worst than that, we do pay state tax, around 20%, plus 7% of sales tax in everything but cars (that's 33%) the only tax most PR people dont pay are US Federal Taxes, unless you work for Uncle Sam, then you have to pay those as well. Very expensive to live in the tropical paradise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
