The default American import, and for a good reason — Ford sells it in Europe, so it has a WLTP figure and the NoVA is merely painful rather than absurd.
Usually not worth importing.
Ford sells the Mustang in Europe, so there is a European CO₂ figure and the NoVA is predictable. But it also means you can buy one here, already registered, with the tax paid and depreciated into the price. An import only makes sense for a specification Ford does not bring over — and you should ask us to prove the difference in writing before you commit to it.
Austria charges NoVA on a car's CO₂ emissions, and it will not accept the American EPA number. The law works down a ladder: a WLTP figure if one exists, otherwise a European NEFZ figure multiplied by 1.27, and failing both a substitute of engine power in kilowatts × 2. That last step is not a formality — on a powerful car it can add tens of thousands of euro, and it is the single largest variable in any American import.
Because this model is sold in Europe, a figure Austria recognises usually exists, and the tax is predictable before you buy.
We will not send you a landed price for a car whose CO₂ basis has not been settled. A number we might have to raise by fifty thousand euro is worse than no number at all. Ask us about a specific car and you get the basis, the calculation and a firm figure within one working day.
The import calculator runs the same engine we use, at today's ECB exchange rate. Put in the US asking price and it will show you the duty, the VAT and both NoVA outcomes — with a figure, and with the substitute — so you can see the size of the gap for yourself.
Tell us the car and we will establish what Austria will actually charge on it, in writing, before you commit to anything.
