Buying a car in Canada and importing to US
I posted a similar topic in the S2000 Talk forum, but I think it might fit better here.
I live in California and found an S2000 that fits my needs. I thought it might be crazy to even consider it, but why not? What are the steps for an American to buy and import a car into the US? Would you be able to provide me with some reading material? What recommendations do you have?
Thanks,
Lucian

I've looked into it a bit, and it appears to be a royal pain in the ass. It involves getting letters from the manufacturer to certify your car meets US standards. It might be easier with something like an S2k, but it'd still be quite a bit of work. Add to that the price premium in canada, and you'd probably be better off just finding one in the US.
