US import general questions

Hello, I hope I’m right here in the US car forum, I’d like to know how much an import from the USA (California) to Germany costs so let’s say the car costs 15-18T dollars what do I have to calculate so how much customs and VAT fall on who picks up the car from the dealer in L.A.? Isn’t it possibly cheaper to transfer the car to the Netherlands and pick it up from there.
