| Shipping car costs?
I was in Paris last week and saw an Aston Martin V8 with Quebec plates.
Does anyone know how much it costs to ship?

probably roughly the same cost as it would be to ship a JDM car across the pacific? but in your case it would be across the atlantic from the east coast...

actually its really cheap, due to economic downturn, recently, many companies are offereing crazy rates for shipping.
Specially from asia i beli. i heard somewhere it was 1/10th price now.
my old company use to make software for container ships.. no surprise, that they are going under...

I even saw one Ferrari with Argentina plates last month

Could be a Canadian diplomats personal/family car because I can't imagine a normal person importing a Aston from Canada to France, the import taxes and duties would be sky high.

I don't think whoever the AM's owner is has imported that car. It still carries the Canadian plate, meaning it hasn't been permanently registered with EU authorities.
It's just like people from Dubai fly their cars to London... they just move the car there, but do not register locally.
