[Vwdiesel] importing to US

[Terry Briggs]

Well a subject I am very familiar with. First, you "should " be able to 
bring it from canada, I believe I saw it on the customs list for cars 
that can be brought in from Canada, The only bad news is that in order 
to import a car from lets say the UK. I has to be AT LEAST 25 years 
old, if it's 24 years 11 months and 30 days, it will meet one of 2 
fates, either they impound it and crush it, or they ship it back , in 
either case, they send you the bill. I'm currently in process of 
importing a Reliant Robin from the UK and am intimately familiar with 
the customs "hoops" you must jump through, on a side note, it really 
isn't that expensive to have a car shipped from a port in the UK to NYC 
or NJ.
