ITT: Import stories
Has importing cars ever been problematic for you?
Tell us stories of how you got your overseas vehicles.
Pic related is what I want to import some day.
I honestly have no idea how to go on about it, a lot of people here locally are saying to drop imports, unless the car is crashed cause the gubmint wants you to pay 2 grand in just import taxes.
My friend's dad has brought six cars from Japan to Europe
>a fucking W210 E-Class
>Toyota Granvia which he repurposed as his van for work stuff, he's a construction worker
>an auto 7M-GTE Mk 3 Supra
>850i BMW
>two Lexus LS400s
And the shipping for a two car container was almost €10k so I don't know what the fuck he was doing

I paid 1000 for a RO/RO from japan to canada

That's a much shorter and a simpler trip but getting the shipment from Japan, around Africa and through Europe to Scandinavia is not cheap.

In my case my import will come from the states and be sent to Panama.
No idea how expensive that shit is going to be.
Give or take my two options are a local clean s2000 ( extremely hard to find) or a sw20 from the states.

Hopefully import isn't that expensive.
