I just tried a couple months ago and thats what I was told to do. I searched a good amount as well.
The importer, A&J Importers in Niagara Falls, did something illegal and then disappeared leaving Kevin to deal with the fallout.
Still haven’t seen what car you are trying to import posted. Chances are someone else has tried to import that car and failed, or it isn’t worth importing it.
I have imported one easy car myself (just needed letter of compliance and letter that it’s free of recalls, got them from BMW canada in seconds, and had to change the speedo to MPH). Was meant for Canada
Dealt with the perils of a couple black market cars.
My landlord imports cars to canada and USA from Germany, rare european shit like e30m3evo, euro e34m5 with s38b38, etc
but I haven’t seen you post the type of car…
Im thinking he was leaning to an Audi. of some kind considering his current fleet is all VAG.
In the short when i talked in person I told him is its just not worth it. but considering he drives a W12 A8 and put a Touraas motor in a Camaro, maybe he just likes burning money and with enough money im sure there is a way.
the s1 already meets the age requirements though…
i suppose the only other acceptable audi worth importing is a b5 rs4
An rs4 isn’t worth it.
I always have wanted a E60 5 Series Diesel M-Sport, but the cost to import if even possible would be to outrageous.
I have imported one easy car myself (just needed letter of compliance and letter that it’s free of recalls,
this has been the one constant thing I have read over and over. This will be the deciding factor to see if I move forward with this. Due to past issues with this vehicle I cannot post about it until I decide I will not import it or I post a smokey burnout video with me in the car.
apparently mike uses my laptop at work. this is Somedude
letter of compliance and proof all the conversions were done properly is key. one glitch and youll never see your car get through the process. it will be held up in customs and cost you more than the car is worth.
ask bill gates about his 959 he surrendered.
rs2?
edit: I know that one has already been excluded from show and display, so you’d still have to wait until the 25 years is up.
vintage skyline.
Euro-spec SHO!
Go for it
If it doesn’t work out it will at least be a funny thread
did you at least recoup some cost on that Rallye by parting it down?
I can’t believe you didnt find a way to register it up here. I could have helped with that. Get a private leasing company to ‘buy’ it and lease it back off them… big whoop.
is that seriously an option? god dammit I want a 94-95 Escort Cosworth 4x4 in the worst fucking way but they’re still pulling $30k plus import costs.
Cant be done. that car is on the list of excluded vehicles from importation.
im patiently waiting for 2019 when that car can come into the US legally
Why is that on the list? What other cars are on that list?
