The thing is the cars are older than 25 years. So, we dont have to deal with all of the EPA and DOT regulatory bullshiz. Its just ALL of the paperwork, customs hassels.

Its all A LOT of work.

This is our first time, me and a buddy. But if all goes well in the next few months, it will start as a business type thing.

Bringing them across the ocean was easy as shit. Its just like buying a package and giving them an address.

If you dont have your shit lined up once it gets to the POE. You are FUCKED.

so after 25yrs you don't have to worry about the crash tests and stuff eh?

[almostJDM]

ill buy one fron ya and slap an H2B with my f20b and a CTR trans haha

9 Austin Minis? What the hell are you going to do with 9 of them (sell them, obviously... but what sparked this venture?)

There are so many cool old cars I would love to get... many over 25 years old as well.

What sort of costs are involved in the importation process? Say I found a car for $2000 that I liked... how much would that end up costing me in the end (25+ years old... so just the customs BS)

Tell me about it.

Try importing a car into Malaysia.. the tax itself will make you shit bricks.

The tax itself could be more that the price of the car itself. No shit.

I'm talking from experience.

[accord=inspire?]

does this means our cars in 5 or more yrs would be dot exempt?

no more smog check...smog tests?
