Its automatic, un-registerable, and not in nice condition. Purchasing that vehicle without the HS-7 will result in the vehicle being confiscated by customs, and no, you don't get it back. Unless of course you vin swap, very illegal though. You also cannot get financing on that vehicle; it has no title.

You would have to be retarted to buy that car.

Not only do they confiscate the car , they will cut it in half and destroy it completely. This has been done to people trying to bring in Skylines and what not.

Why would they confiscate it? As long as it never touches the road right? Still a usesless car.

Hint: You dont have to register a car if it is "owned" by a dealership. i.e. Using a dealership tag and covered by dealership insurance. You just have to have a really good friend at a dealership to get you one of those silly paper dealership tags.

I have seen that car in person. I laughed when tony (owner) told me $9000.00 I then said you are crazy to ask 9g's. I told him i was selling a modded Fd 5sp for $2000.00 more. He looked at me and said someone will buy it. I was like yea alright. You can show up there with cash amd you will always get a better deal there though. Chris

Thats not to bad. Just say its for personal use on race tracks only. That way at least you got the hard part of having it here done. In florida you can register a car without a title its a good thing.

Are you allowed to bring a car here, and have it meet w/e requirements here or does all that have to be done before it leaves the other country?
