Have anyone in this forum ever imported their Evo directly from Japan? If you have, then please help me because I'm planning to purchase an imported Evo.

i have never done it personally, but i know someone who was going to import a supra from europe, and from what i understand he didnt do it because you have to pay a special "tax" or something for it being a right hand drive, could be wrong tho

Well, I'm pretty sure in it's legal for a RHD car in CA because I know someone who has a Skyline GTR-R34 and he said he just bought from someone, therefore he couldn't help me with import issues. I'm looking for any imported Evo IX, but the problem is I don't have the money yet. That's why I want to know as much as I need to about importing cars beforehand. Thanks guys, your advices are appreciated!

You have to remember that just about any california legal skyline was brought in by Motorex who is no longer in business. There is so much crap involved in bringing and car in that it may not be worth it. You have to take into consideration that your car could be seized before it even makes it into the country. You could try to find one that is registered in another state but that does not mean you can register it in california. I remember seeing a member selling a RHD 7 in Arizona not too long ago. You would be better off getting a USDM IX and calling it a day.

I was trying to get an Evo from Jamaica and it wasn't worth man. There were 5 different taxes and make out to be more than car. Then you have worry about who ships the car and thieves. They told me if I shipped that thieves might strip the car and that I would have to pay the people on the boat a little extra too. Crazy man.
