buying a imported car from canada

Just get a PO box some place in Canada and register it there. bamo done.

ok seriously

i’ve done it, dont bother

whats the deal with Kustom Works’ Skyline? did he pay out the ass to bring it over legally?

geeze 10+ pages… good thing its slow at work today. lol

what about moronrex do they still import cars legally? i want a skyline too!

ok bump. what about a plain-jane e30?

I had a RHD Del Sol with a title registered and drove it for three years, go to the dmv and play dumb like I did and you might get it on the road. It was a $8500 risk I took but it worked out for me. I miss that fucking car and still wish I had it, kid owns it now in AZ and wont sell it back to me.

I’m going to stop by the DMV tomorrow and maybe the local border patrol/customs office

you will be required to complete EPA form 3520-1 and DOT form HS-7

you will need to have the title and bill of sale along with a letter from the manufacturer stating that it meets or exceeds the dot/epa standards for the US market

and because ive seen it before…

make sure you bring the car.

Awesome, thanks!

from the epa site http://www.epa.gov/otaq/imports/canadian.htm under '1995 and prior model years"

Now I just need to get something for the DOT form, my best guess would be to call bmw usa

for the kustom workz skyline i think they registered it as a sentra to be honest

dealer plates

id love to seize it HAHAHAHAH

you sure its not a motorex skyline since its an r33?

When I did this many years ago on a Canadian Geo Tracker it only had one of the two certs on the vehicle (I think it was EPA). I just had to call GM, pay $50, and they faxed me an official form stating the vehicle met the DOT regs. I had all my paperwork in order at the border, vehicle on a trailer, and the process went perfectly with US customs. They reviewed the paperwork, collected my sales tax, and stamped everything so I had no problems registering with NYSDMV.
