So, what was the Sale Price of this Car? Then in the Perfect world "if thing all work out" with all the Added on Import Tax, Vat Tax, Import Duty Tax, Admin Fees $750+, Transport Charges and Custom Charges, What might the Final Cost of this Car be?

According to Bonhams, the car had not been imported into the UAE, so those fees, taxes and duties only had to be paid if the car was to stay in the UAE. The car would still have been registered in whatever country it came from but that country let the car leave its jurisdiction, so there should be no issues, sending the car on to the USA. The car has to either leave the UAE or be officially imported. Perhaps Bonhams allowed the car to stay in the UAE too long without being imported and the temporary import permit expired. The bottom line is, this should be Bonham’s problem, not the Buyer’s.
