I was planning to take the train to Bremerhaven but Rountreed, a Germany based military member (Guard Rail Associated) suggested that I use ADAC (AAA in Germany) for shipping, it would save me time off work and money.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I had to sell my 964 a few years back during a job transition. My frau never cared for it (she would get car sick in the vehicle). I bought a C6 Vette when they first came out - great bang for the buck but it does not have the heart that the P-Cars do. Brute power and can take a corner but you never felt that you were driving it - just pointing. I hope that the 996 is less intrusive on my wife's inner ear!
In any case, I have a 996 C4S 2003 30K miles with the Porsche Certified warrenty coming to Germany from Chi-Town - should be here in Feb.
I've already obtained a set of rims and winter reifen for the P-Car. Even though the car is pristine - she is going to be driven all season, Something I would never do in the Vette.
I am sending the car overseas via roll on roll off ship - I shiped the Vette in a container and they scraped the side getting it out. PITA getting this settled. Both Merc and BMW use RORO so hopefully things will go OK.
Glad to be back!
Seasons Greatings from Stuttgart!
I live in Germany and bought my Porsche for the states and had it shipped over. If you are a GS or military make sure you get the proper tax forms togeather to avoid the MwST. They will need all the documents at the port. ADAC can do you in land shippment and I found it cheaper than taking a train to port along with the hotel. Best of luck!
I will have to look it up. I am in Mexico for the next 2 weeks...
Do you know Thomas Schmitz... He is the RS expert in Germany. He set the entire thing up for me.... Car came into California. And transproted directly to the importer... Cars were not even that dirty... I was amazed.
send me a PM if you need his E mail. I think I can find it.
Good luck...
My experiences so far in shipping to Germany...
First I learned that the Porsche CPO program is world wide. The only differences are that each country Porsche sells in the program is slightly different. For Germany the Program is only one year vice two for the US.
Next I had to decide on a car - I wanted a 996 4S and found a beauty in Chicago at the Porsche dealer there. $47990 not a bad price for a pristine car with CPO. I had tried the auction services "Exporttrader" but since they are based out of Canada the bank transactions became problematic. It was very entertaining watching the on-line auctions (but not $150 worth)
Next was the decision on the transporter. There is a web site dedicated to auto shipping and ratings. "shipping scams" There were only a few international shipper ratings and after shipping a Vette via container and that event was a disaster (very late and they scraped the car). i decided to go roll-on-roll off. BMW, Porsche, and BMW all do it this way so it is probably good enough for my 2003. I finally decided on

- for $1690 from Chicago to Bremerhaven.
The car is now scheduled to depart around the 31st of Jan.
Wintertime in Chicago is not the ideal time for shipping (but it is for buying). So I had the dealer install the 3M clear bra (Chicago edition - ??). $900.
I was planning to take the train to Bremerhaven but Rountreed, a Germany based military member (Guard Rail Associated) suggested that I use ADAC (AAA in Germany) for shipping, it would save me time off work and money. He was right - $220 euro ($300) to the Singelfingen vehicle terminal. The train/hotel/taxi would of cost at least 400 euro! ADAC does not actually ship but they do reccomend perfered shippers and the rates to Stuttgart are very low since there is a major vehicle terminal due to Merc and porsche being located here.
Wish me lluck and I'll update my progress as the car makes it way east!
