Importing to US - Page 3

excellent news! I just got off the phone with PennDOT and they are on board for the most part. They directed me to a couple Federal agencies regulating safety, emissions and customs and importing. Those are my big hurtles now. Supposedly, they shouldn't be too much trouble either....it just takes time and effort.
Right now, my only concerns are emission standards and customs/importing fees. Emissions can be dealt with. The customs fees though scare me, We'll just have to see what they are.
 
I can also bring these in as kit cars. By definition, a kit car is any assembly. That means if they just take the rear view mirrors off and I have to put them back on I can call it a kitcar...but it will say that on the title. So, I want to go the full boat and get Fed approval to get regular titles.
 
I'm guessing that all of you would turn your noses up at RHD as well so I would want to convert these to LHD. Sound about right?

I would take a RHD, and i know japanese plus im studying international business...... thing is im in mexico atm >_<

where in Mexico, Baja, mainland, east/west coast?
I could definitely use a Japanese liason if this gins up. Being in Mexico isn't a problem. This job is probably going to require a lot of frequent flyer miles anyway.
 
the big question is, are you 18?

Thats great news man.  I hope it all works out for you.

Im 22 and im in baja XD

All this talk about importing is making me want a RHD colt more and more

san diego is an hour and bit far from me, but the main port is long beach not far either

why on earth would you convert it to LHD!? I know SOOOOoooo many people that would LOVE to buy a LHD car!! That's so hot in the car show scene too every single one I've seen at shows this year gets LOADS of attention! I'm sure your buisness would do better if you just left them on that side. The only problem I see is cars like that can't have regular insurance. I had a friend that had a skyline and it was something like because it's "not a car in their cars listed to insure" they couldn't do it.. and since you HAVE to have insurance there's some special insurance you have to get that's like 1,000.00 a month. which is retarded but oh well. Good luck man I want a japanese car!! That mirage hatch is SOO cute! :)

ok, thank you for the input. I guess I better start calling insurance companies and get their opinions on this.

Just a heads up.
 
EVO II = 5k
EVO III = 7k
EVO IV = 11-12k
EVO V-VI = 20k

what are those numbers?

im saving around 25k
lol

i want a turbo intercooled diesel montero

ok, I'll say banana.

Those are the prices of those cars in England

yeah, don't think I'll be able to match those. what's your source?

pounds or dollars?

Dollars lol. I already did the conversion. I used multiple, like autotrader and public advertising sites (craigslist equivilant).
 
What are you planning to use for your sources and at what kinda prices?

I'm looking at what I can buy them for. as an example, I can't even get an evo 2 here for under 5k. If this is what I am looking at, there is no need to go further. I certainly can't be doing this for charity. I doubt I could sell an evo 2 for under 9.

 RHD Colt

Too expensive ^^
 
AlZ, good news. I just saw a EVO II for sale for like 14k...

I still want one
