In addition to the discouraging (but realistic) advice above, there is also the question of engine size and fuel efficiency.
When I lived in Turks & Caicos I imported a Jeep Liberty (pictured below) from Florida. It had a 3.7 litre petrol engine, standard fitment on US models.
The equivalent UK model had a 2.7 litre engine, which was still overkill for such a relatively small car.
IRC the Liberty did about 24 miles per gallon, which was acceptable on an island that was 20 miles long by 4 miles wide, but on European roads (and with European petrol prices) would be a money pit.
There is also the question of spare parts if you have a US spec vehicle, those could be more difficult to source.
@MikeyPotts I still miss my Forester - but where we live now, in farm country, there’s no way I’d drive one. It was my favorite car EVER - I’m glad that you can drive yours here.
We bought a Peugeot 207 and it is also almost small enough. It barely fits in our garage and takes up all but about .5 meters at the back end. Then there is the trailer hitch/tow hook that we have to step over (need to remove that). The back end of our garage has some sort of small hump that the rear wheels sit on (uncomfortably) and if the brake ever let go it would crash through the garage door. So we mostly park it on the street unless I need to work on it.
Should have bought an even smaller car! Like a Twingo Mk2….
This is quite normal. He just needs to get a certificate of non-conformity from MB, replace the items that do not conform and that is it.
Then we have the question of the Crit air sticker 
That’s the easy bit.
Hi, I should have listed that in the original question, Its a 2019 Maserati Levante Trofeo, we bought the car brand new in 2020 its obviously left hand drive and a European vehicle. Last year we sold our house and most of our belongings to move to our house in the Dominican, plus I sold my car because I got a great price, but due to the wife’s being a Maserati they depreciate badly, I was never bothered about that because we never planned on selling it. We plan of living in the DR and using as a base to travel and see the kids who all live in the USU. Because of the depreciation I could never bring myself to sell it so based on the fact we think we will spending more time in France than here I want to bring it over.
Hi @Wildmark and belated welcome to the forum.
If it’s 2019 European vehicle it should have a “Certicate de Conformité” amongst its paperwork (possibly in several languages including French).
Find that document and you are well on the way to successful Registration here in France.
Over many years, I’ve been successful with registering cars from different countries (and different eras) but, nowadays, I’d ask Mark Rimmer’s help/advice.
and that’s my “best advice” to You !
Good luck 
I don’t remember seeing a certificate of conformity but I’ll look again. If I cannot find it, who would be the people to request this from?
The car manufacturer should be able to supply the document.
check again amongst the papers, it is a standard issue.
In which country did you buy the car?
Its an Italian car and sold in France.
Thanks David, the car is Italian and were planning on spending six months or more at a time in France but we do plan on retiring there full time in a few years.
CoCs are not always a standard issue with paperwork on a new car.
Write to Maserati in Italy with the VIN and any other useful info such as date of sale. they then will issue you with the conformity information of the car, If it was sold into France, see if you can find the original immatriculation number. This will help enormously.
You might need a separate thread on visas unless you’ve already sorted that out.
Thanks, I’m pretty confident on the visa application, there is a lot of info out there, It was the car that I was not sure about.
Must confess the newest European car I’ve bought was produced in 2012 and came with its own CoC… hurrah… so registration in France was easy peasy.
But I can’t see any reason why the constructor shouldn’t provide the necessary information to allow this Italian car to be Registered here in France and proudly wear its French number-plates 
Be interested to learn how this pans out…
Thanks, I’m going to contact the dealer I bought it from, If no joy I’ll write to Maserati in Italy.
I would first try Maserati France 
Yes, must be hunger pangs dulling my brain… although it might depend on which language is easier
or do all Maserati folk speak English
