This is turning out to be a nightmare. I'm trying to import a 93 Daytona IROC RT through the border entrance at Alexander Bay. So far, I've obtained the needed letter from the EPA stating it meets emissions requirements, and I am trying to get Chrysler to issue a letter to the owner stating that the car meets other mumbo jumbo requirements.
My problems are: 1) Chrysler will only issue the letter to the owner if the car is being used by him personally, and not being resold, and 2) I'm told by the border dorks up there that the only way to bring the car in is through a broker (who essentially charges lots of bucks to do the paperwork I just mentioned) unless the car is worth less than $2k (it's not, and it's obvious, as the car has less than 600 miles on it).
Has anyone imported a car from Canada? If so, how did you do it, and what can I do to get this car in here, preferably without the broker?
