What cars are available for import?  This changes monthly.  The 25yr rule in the United States is based on a vehicles production date.  For instance if there is a 93 model year with a production date of 8/92, it can be legally imported in 2017 even though the model year would have you think 2018.  Basically any brand and model can be imported whether it be a Toyota Supra or a Liteace Diesel work truck. 

 

How do I register an imported vehicle?  It will be no different than purchasing any US based car.  Since we’re a registered importer and legally bring all cars in with appropriate documentation, registering a RHD vehicle is absolutely basic.  You will be provided a state title and bill of sale to provide to your local DMV.  Customer is responsible for checking local smog requirements. (CA)  We understand that google is your friend but, sometimes it’s easier to talk with someone so….. just reach out if you’re concerned or unsure.
