Panzerfa, I can tell you from experience the dealer in Italy is probably trying to make a profit on the truck, but it's likely far from what you would call ****** you on the price. Yes, if you convert dollars to euros, a decked out Raptor at $50k would only be about 40k euros, but you need to understand import fees. Those import fees are there to make sure you can't buy something dirt cheap in another country because of exchange rates. When you get PAID in euros, that's your dollar. They're basically 1/1 until you convert them.
A perfect example is the Raptors that are for sale over here in the UK. There's a brand new 2013 supercab Race Red Raptor here for 44.5k pounds (
Used FORD F150 Car for Sale - Auto Trader UK) which, if converted to dollars is something like 70k. Now, if a British guy could order direct from the States, it would only cost him about 30k pounds (which converts to about 50k dollars) and then about 1500 dollars to ship it over to the UK. Well, countries don't want their citizens getting dirt cheap cars from other countries in this way (Italy too) so the import fees are stupid ridiculous. In the UK it's about 30% of what you paid for the vehicle, so buying a 50K dollar Raptor would cost you an additional 16-17k dollars just to bring it into the UK and register it. So now you're up to 66-67k dollars, or close to 40k pounds. This Raptor in this add is a couple thousand over that, but that's the dealer's cut, which probably isn't all that unreasonable considering how rare the Raptor is over here and the pain in the ass it is to get one over here.
Your local Italian dealer is probably just doing the same thing, but good luck to you anyway in getting one. Just don't forget to consider all the costs of getting one instead of just the US sticker price in dollars.
