    Registering Canadian car in USA

    Sup guys. I have found a couple potential dd's in Canada and am wondering how difficult it is to bring them in....

    I know you need to:
    switch cluster
    get it okd with the safety commission
    get it okd with the epa
    pay tax

    If its over 25 years old am i am exempt from the epa part?
    do e30s pass the safety requirements?

    Has anyone brought a car in from Canada?
    Please share your experiences.

    you need to bring it through a registered importer. that will immediately add another 2-3 grand min on the car. not worth it IMO

      It doesn't hurt anyone else, so why not just do that and then drive it.

        I believe that if its over 25 yrs you won't have any problems importing it...

            try doing a google search. being over 25 years old makes it easier, but not completely easy
