How does importing work I want to import a certain car but have no idea where to start

You go to a vehicle importer specialist and you pay them to do it. Trying to do it on your own leads to Customs seizing your car and crushing it.

How much

It depends on the car, the country of origin, and where you're trying to import it from. But the brokerage fees will be at least $1000 and almost certainly more. This is of course on top of the cost of the transportation.

It's expensive because the risk of fucking up has such a high penalty.

*where you're trying to import it TO

From Japan and it was really expensive, very expensive when it was new in early 90s

That whole situation is wtf.

The look on the cashier's face is great though.

OP, are you trying to import a Skyline.

No. I'm importing to America by the way

its gotta be 25 years old to import legally to the land of the free. what car is it?

Oh, you're trying to import one of those Toyota aristocratic luxurbarges.

First thing's first, it has to be 25 years or older from the date of manufacture. If it isn't you can't import it to the US. Other than that, all I can tell you is to go talk to an import broker. We don't know this shit anywhere near as well as they do, and they literally make their living off of getting cars out of Japanese Customs and into US Customs safely. You don't want to risk when you're dealing with the kind of money cars involve.

Oh, you'll need to pay import duties too. Car importation isn't cheap even if you're trying to buy a shitbox from Canada.

Thanks for the help.

How can I find importers in my area?

Also if everything works out and I do get a car . Can I do a RHD to LHD conversion so I don't have to worry about things like drive thru or toll booths ?

Depends on the whip. What are you trying to import?

This picture makes me the most angry and jealous man ever. Even makes me want to cry.

I had a wet dream with her last night, woke up and wanted to weep because She is my biggest crush on earth.

Why live, why.... I'm never gonna fuck her. Ever.

Fuck Man.

Just google it. You're not going to find them in your area; they'll be brokers who work for the whole country and fly out to the port of import.

RHD-LHD conversions are something else entirely. I don't think that car ever had a LHD model, so you'd be cutting another hole in the firewall. That's generally not a good plan.

Can the firewall not be replaced on the RHD side then ?

The fire wall is part of the fucking frame. Is this bait? I can't tell...

Just make more firewall idiot

The firewall is part of the vehicle's frame. The problem isn't the hole on the righthand side; loads of British Domestic Market vehicles were imported to the US with swapped wheel positions and a patched firewall.

The problem is that unless it's designed with that in mind, cutting a new hole in the firewall is going to compromise its strength since it wasn't designed to have a hole there. That shit is dangerous.

It's a shoop guys, look at his arm at the cuff of his shirt and how his hand is in her crotch.


>I'd snap my dick off just to have her piss on my face

Just drive RHD, that's half the reason to go through the hassle and fees of importing. You get used to it too, it's not worth mangling the thing you invested to much in getting it all the way from Japan just to make a damn toll worker's life easier for 30 seconds.

BUT I WANT LHD!!!!!!!!!!!!
