All I could find in my search was importing cars from overseas.
I am thinking about bringing a car over from the states. An Audi TT convertable to be exact. The reason I am buying one there is because they are cheaper, much cheaper. But what I want to know is, what is involved in it? What ahs to be done to the car? I would most likely fly down and drive it home.
Has anyone on here done it? and was it a royal PITA?
thanks
and yes i know that my 2 posts in this forum have "import" in the title

Its not to hard, I have done a bit of research in the past. Some cars cant get across, it might just need DRL installed to pass inspection, but keep in mind (border fee's if its got A/C it pays extra taxes to.
my buddy is a dealer n brings up all his cars from the states ..... but he gets them shipped up here.... his brother has a body shop in the states n tell him what shape the car is in ...then he gets them here n fixes them up n sell them hehehe.... im getitn my eclipse that way.... its already here just needs headlights now n paint =)
I dont want to get one that needs anythign done. I want it to be perfect when I get it. Thats why I want to go down and pick it up.
Mr Hatch: why is it more at the boarder for a car with A/C?
