I've been browsing through other posts on this topic, but still haven't found one that applies directly to my situation.
I have located and secured the purchase of a Beautiful RHD 1990 St185 with 85,000 original miles! Located in Montreal Canada.
I have no idea how to begin this importing process, so I am asking for some Specific information.
I asked if the vehicle was originally purchased in Canada and he said yes, Another factor is that my Local Area in Oregon has NO Emissions tests at all... i don't know if that will play a factor in the transfer over the border, as i don't know how the process works.
Question 1
How do i go about Beginning the process without initiating a process that will send the car down the ramp to some place that will potentially want to modify it? if that is possible
Question 2
I don't have a passport, and won't have one before I am to receive the car, so He said he would drive across the border to the airport where i will fly in to pick it up. I have about a month to get all the paperwork in order, is it possible for me to have the car registered before it is in my possession, so that when i pick it up i have plates to slap on and insurance ect. ready? Am i dreaming it to be super simple or what
Question 3
What is a Ballpark for the costs that I may incur in getting the car registered to the US from Canada.
Assuming things roll smoothly.
And if you have completed this process yourself, please send me a PM if you're feeling inclined to help walk me through it.
Much Appreciation!
