IMPORTING QUESTIONS
Q: What cars can you Import into the USA?
A: Almost anything that is 25 years old (25 years is counted down to the month it was manufactured)
Q: Can you get me a R33 or R34 Skyline, S14 or S15 Silvia, Stagea, MKIV Supra, Aristo, S2000, etc?
A: Absolutely not, and no, we do not know anyone that can get you one either. Sorry to say, but as soon as those models start turning 25 years old we will bring them at that time.
Q: Is there 'any amount of money' I can pay to have you get me a car newer than 25 years?
A: Sorry we do not import cars newer than 25 years old, no matter what.
Q: Can you get me a 1972 Skyline GTR then?
A: Sure, but be ready to pay a premium for these highly desirable models. They are getting harder to find with minimal rust and still demand VERY high pricing within Japan.
Q: Do you already have cars or are they custom ordered?
A: We bring cars in when we find unique, desirable, or otherwise good quality vehicles, all cars we receive will be posted on the site only after they are stateside, customs released, and inspected - not before, so please be patient. Unfortunately due to the long time spans between finding a suitable vehicle, processing, shipping, and clearing of the vehicles we currently are not taking customs orders. However, please email us if you are looking for a specific vehicle and we will let you know when we have one arriving. [email protected]
Q: Will the Government or State Police come seize my new imported car and crush it?
A: No, this will not happen because all cars we import are 100% Legal and include a real US Customs Release, Proper De-Registration, and valid VA Title transferable to all 50 states. Absolutely NO parts car rebuilds, dmv loopholes, kit car titles, vin swaps, or paperwork games, what you get is a US Customs Released 25 year old car and Peace of Mind.
