Hi,
[I am new to the site.]
I grew up around Toyota Landcruisers, as they were very popular back home (Latin America). I have a friend that will be selling his (in Latin America) FJ40, and I was wondering if I could buy it from him (much cheaper than buying a similar in the US), and import it into the US (through Houston). I've done some reading, but need to continue doing more. From what I can tell, since the FJ40 is older than 25 years, that means it is exempt from the EPA tests... but I am not sure.
I already have a company that will do the paperwork, etc for the car leaving In a container, but I need help receiving it in the USA.
Does anyone know about the process of importing such a vehicle or recommend a company that can help me with this? Is it worth doing this?
thanks
