I found a car I'd like to purchase in Sweden and need help with the purchase (needs to be done face-to-face) and export to the USA.

Has anyone had success working with any export companies that work in Sweden?

Anyone on the Samba do this professionally?

Owner's of vehicles must make international vehicle shipping arrangements. In order for you to make arrangements for processing a vehicle through Customs, you must have your international shipper or carrier provide you with the vehicle’s arrival date. Vehicles sent in bond to a Customs port more convenient to you can be arranged for you via your freight forwarder otherwise all shipments clear at the first port of entry. Hope this helps.
