6G Celicas Forums

Congrats! I envy you. =( How much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking?

Beautiful! I love the interior; seats look really plush. =) These pics just make me want a 6gc even more. *_*

Excellent guide to importing! Your experience definitely verifies all the research I've done on the subject thus far and also fills in some of the blanks in my reading. I wasn't sure how the title was going to be transferred and how the temporary plate would be handled. I noticed that you didn't mention anything about the 6.1% duty though. Weren't Celicas manufactured in Japan and then shipped over here? Are used vehicles not subject to duty?

I guess I have reservations about how the transaction (with deposit and title transfer) would go with me being from across the border. I'd wanted to spend maybe 4-5 days vacationing in the States, which would make it difficult to get all the paperwork in order on time. I also wanted to get an inspection done on the vehicle before purchase, so that's another step that would complicate the process. Maybe I should just forget about the vacation and focus on getting a car. =/

ETA: Oh, and um, unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a suitable car in Buffalo. It was the first place I looked, but no luck.

Nooo, I'm from Toronto.

I'm considering taking a much needed break from work this month. I thought I could kill two birds with one stone by going down to the states for vacation and maybe picking up a car too.

I really appreciate the kind offer, though. Have you imported a car before? The RIV need so many documents!

No, I'm not. I'm from north of the border and was planning on visiting Detroit and Chicago during my break later this month. Thought I might pick up a Celica while there, though I may have changed my mind. It's just too much paperwork to export/import a used vehicle across the border. =(

Looking to purchase a 6gc GT in either Detroit or Chicago.

Unfortunately, I only drive auto. Is anyone here selling? =D
