Amerifag here. I have some money saved up, and I have a sudden urge to buy a new Lada 4x4 3-door (about 7500 bucks or so). Problem is, I have no fucking idea about if or how I can import a car from Russia. Do you guys have any advice?

Go through Canada.
Also, that car is not woth $7k
maybe $3k tops for nostalgia, and I'm from the Ukraine.

I would hate to buy one used. The LADA website has them for about 465,000 rubles. Are they really that shitty?

I've seen maybe 2 or 3 in my life, pretty rare here. I don't think they could handle the rust here. I'd imagine getting parts would be a nightmare.

It's incredibly weird that americans have this perverted Lada fetish. They're complete shit vehicles. Do you enjoy shit? Do you like rubbing shit all over yourself?

if it wasnt a bitch to get them in the US, i'd probly grab one as a toy, it's like 8700 for a fully equipped one and you get power steering and A/C out of it.

This, I've heard nothing but shit about these cars from people that can actually own them.
Don't fall for the importing meme

I don't think there are established ways to transport cars from Russia. You would need to transport it to some port, then put it on a ship in a general-purpose container. Of course you'd need some local to do a bit of paperwork. Seems nuts. You can buy one personally in Far East, take a boat to Alaska and drive it home (it will break along the way. Well, like any other car over that distance).
I see a top-trim clean RX-7 FD on sale for 450 000. You want to pay the same amount of money for a complete shitbucket. Just think about it.

In the first place, doesn't it need to be 25 years old to be imported?
Nigger why would you want a shitbox from soviet era Russia? They couldn't do anything right.

You can import vehicles but they need to meet US safety and pollution standards.
