RE: Pilot Episode - Buying JDM (Japanese) Cars Online : Supra's, Skylines,RX7's and Silvia's

in #automotive8 years ago

Importing a JDM car is a great idea if you're looking for a classic sports car that is hard to or impossible to come by in America. It can actually turn out to be an investment (https://steemit.com/cars/@stealthstrike/my-car-is-an-appreciating-asset).

BUT! Before you import one to your city make sure to research the legality of these types of RHD vehicles in your state. The last thing you need is have spent a tiny a fortune on your dream car only to find out that it's illegal for street use or just flat out illegal in your state. Make sure to check the following issues:
-legality of RHD (right hand drive) vehicles in your area
-emissions regulations
-possibility of registering the vehicle for street use (some areas will only allow track/show usage)
-possibility of insuring the vehicle (a lot of insurance companies are reluctant to insurance RHD vehicles)

Happy shopping!
