Importing to US - 9/11/2007 11:22:20 AM    AlZuben   Posts: 342 Joined: 9/5/2007 Status: offline Has anybody here tried or successfully imported a vehicle from a country other than Canada? I am interested in the process and any difficulties that arose. I have contacted my local DOT and I am awaiting a reply. If this is possible, would any of you also be interested in imported vehicles?

Im working on a project to import Limos from here to Morocco for some dude. I should be making a nice sum on that. _____________________________ These cranks are made for walkin'', and thats just what they''ll do, one of these days these cranks are gonna walk all over you (in reply to AlZuben) Post #: 2

Im sure its costly though.  As far as the actual regulations go im not sure, i have heard so many different things about it that i never know what is true or false. (in reply to Sebba) Post #: 3

As in emissions, glass, stuff like that. As i said though Im not sure how true it is. There is a guy around where i live that imported a r34 skyline gtr, and he said he paid around 80,000 for the car and having it imported. Lucky bastard. (in reply to AlZuben) Post #: 5

I may have an idea of how to register them... _____________________________ Current cars: (What I havent wrecked) 1995 Eagle Talon TSi "Jackie" 2001 Mitsu.

RE: Importing to US - 9/11/2007 12:31:04 PM    AlZuben   Posts: 342 Joined: 9/5/2007 Status: offline I'd like the legnum. I don't know of any galant wagons in the US. I don't anticipate a problem with importing just parts. I am looking to import and register 2 vehicles now. 1 I will keep for myself and the other I will sell. Right now, I anticipate my expense to ship and register at about $3000 US each vehicle. This still makes it profitable as I am sure a 2000 legnum VR4 would sell for at least $9000 US. As far as parts go, I am waiting to hear back from them. My goal is to see if I can import drivetrains for the VRs and then just do the install on American models. personally, I don't even know what the JDM stands for.
