VIN swapping is VERY illegal. Knowing how to get around the proper red tape and using lope wholes in the system to LEGALLY register the car in the US in not.

And no, the $3000 isn't used to "bribe" people in the DMV. Again, the $3000 covers the tax on the car, duties, requirements that the DOT inspection will need to be met, paper work, etc. The car would be registered in the states with in original 10 digit JDM VIN.

Again, this is not for everyone, and I understand the skepticism...as all we have heard since the site started was that there was no way for this to happen. But it just takes a bit of homework, and knowing the right people to get the car here. In fact, it is harder to get the car here, then it is to register it.

I'm curious as to what kind of requirements one can meet for the 25 year rule to be exempt. I'm a member of a Canadian import owners club and we constantly have people asking what it would take to buy a car in Canada and bring it over. A couple of the guys in the club are in the law business and have found there to be a few loopholes to jump through, but all are quite easy to be caught up on and are not worth the risk.

Also, registration is one thing, insurance is another. I know in most states you aren't legally required to have insurance, but it would seem quite unwise to not have it. Even here insurance is a crap shoot.

Care to enlighten me?
