About

US vehicle import, run out of Vienna's first district

Five Star Cars exists because importing an American car to Austria involves six parties and no one who is accountable for the whole thing. We decided to be that.

Why American cars

Because the interesting ones are never sold here. Trim levels Europe does not get, engines that were dropped for emissions, and prices that make the trip worth taking even after the Austrian state has had its share.

And because the hard part is not the ocean. It is the customs declaration, the CO₂ figure that determines your NoVA bill, the lighting conversion, the single approval and the registration office. That is the part we are actually good at.

How we work

Nothing sits on a forecourt. Every car we bring in has a name on it before we bid, which means we are never trying to move stock we guessed wrong about — and you are never paying for the ones that did not sell.

Every quote is itemised, in writing, before anything is committed. Duty, import VAT and NoVA are passed through at cost. Our fee is a line on the invoice, not a spread hidden in the price.

The team

Two founders: one finds the car, one keeps it legal

There is no logistics department to be handed off to. Whoever answers your first email is still the person handing you the keys — and the tax figures on this site are written by someone who holds doctorates in law and in tax.
