Default Yia'Sou Greek Mustang owners!

Yia'sas.
I have a 1990 Mustang 2.3L Turbo convertible on Samos. Anyone else own a Mustang in Greece? Or maybe you have a Greek background living elsewhere?
I know of one person in Chalkida with a 1977 Mustang Ghia but thats about it.
There are a few others at :: Welcome to Detroit Cruisers :: but they're hard to get a hold of.

Welcome to the site. I may not be in Greece, but I'm still on the same continent

I'm not aware of any Mustang Clubs that Greece may or may not have. You might want to check into that

Hi, there aren't very many Mustangs in Greece. The detroitcruizers are an American car club though.

Beautiful car man!! I live in Veroia and as far as I know there aren't more than 50 Mustangs in Greece (including the new model).
I see you have foreign license plates. What's the deal with that? You have any problems? I' interested in buying a Mustang from Germany with German plates and I was told that i have to get the car to Germany twice a year.

Yia'sou Burgos, The foreign plates are from the UK. There's no license plate on the front but I've never been stopped by the police for anything.
When they do the "bloko" and stop people for some reason they just watch me drive by and stop the car in front or behind me. Maybe its because I'm invisible...?

I heard of a 1992 Mustang in Athena owned by one of the Detroit Cruisers members. There might be a video of it chasing a Camaro through a parking lot on youtube or myspace videos.

I'll be on Samos from July 20th till the middle of September. We'll be taking lots of videos of the car and the island and they'll be posted on my youtube account under lowerednjuiced.

Take care!

Three of my grandparents came from Samos before coming to the United States in the early 1900s. My mother's father came from the mainland.

I've always wanted to visit Samos, maybe someday I'll get there. I wouldn't have any problem with language as my grandparents taught me how to speak "Samyotika" when I was young.

I've visited Tarpon Springs many times as I live only 200 miles away. My father only lived about 30 miles from Tarpon in St. Petersburg, Florida. This small town is truly unique in the United States. A family friend started the sponge industry there in Tarpon many years ago.

Since the invention of synthetic sponges in the 1940s the industry started to decline, but there is still a demand for natural sponges and a few sponge boats still harvest. If any Greek comes to the U.S., you must visit Tarpon Springs if at all possible.

I'm very proud of my Greek heritage and I want to wish all Mustangers in Greece "ola ta kala".

Geia sas fellas!
Coincidence.. i used to live in FL, in Weston.. and am now in Greece!
The Mustang is the only thing that deserves the adjective of beautiful in the world of cars..
And just wanted to let you guys know that I am planning on bringing one in within a year..before next summer...
To be more specific, im gonna bring in the 2008 Shelby GT500... (didn't go for the KR, reason being the gas in the medium run will cost more than the car itself..)

Im still looking into the perks of bringing her in, i.e. customs, taxes, etc.. but slowly finding my way around it!

Ravax, buy the Mustang you want in England. Make sure it is left hand drive! It'll be cheaper than importing one to Greece from the USA.
Drive it through Europe, when in Italy go to Ancona and get on the Superfast Ferry to Patra. There is no customs there, no telonio! If you buy the car in England it will be a EU European Union car as registered and you really don't need to register it with the Greek tax/Eforia.
Look up cars on Ebay, recently a 2007 Mustang GT convertible in the UK sold for 6700 GBP, around $13,000 USD or 7000 Euros.

Look up Detroitcruisers.com for American cars in Greece.

Lowerednjuiced,

Thanks very much for your reply!!

I have considered that possibility, but there are a few problems that i have encountered with this course of action:

1. Left hand drive is 99% impossible to find in the U.K. (especially when looking for a specific model, with specific options)

2. I do that road almost every summer, when i go to france on vacation. However, I do it with a Greek licensed car. It is not the teloneio that is the problem. It is that the greek legislation on car imports is not up to date with European Union legislation, meaning, that the Greek authorities require you to take a foreign licensed vehicle out of the country once every 6 months, and stay out for a month, before re-entering Greece. (despite that i have been hearing for quite some time that they "will" change the laws and allow european licensed vehicles to roll around freely in Greek territory. This has a basic fundamental reason for being so: if anyone was allowed to take cars from other european countries, two problems would occur for greece:

---1. They wouldn't be able to keep track of registrations, plates, etc.. because their databases and systems, and procedures are more than 10 years back compared to other countries.

---2. The Greek "Madres" would lose alot of money by not selling their OVERPRICED second hand cars.

The best option I have found up to now is:

Buy either new, or second hand (relatively new) car from U.S.A., bring it by container with a container ship to Belgium, where Belgian Transit Plates would be slapped on the car, (and perform a sell/re-buy operation with documents proving the purchase of the vehicle in Belgium, and then drive down to greece, and pay import tax (which is about 40% of the purchase price, not original price, which will be relatively low thanks to the sell/re-buy in belgium, and slap on some greek plates, and there you have it.. Brand new Greek Registered Shelby GT500...
