I hear you
he seemed eager UNTIL I said I had someone 10 minutes away willing to look at it and take the pictures that he couldn't provide ....not a peep since:angry7:
I appreciate you telling me what you paid ...it helps me to get an idea of a canadian average depending on condition ...would you mind sending me some pictures of it?
I was talking to a bud at work today ...he's not into mopars, his stuff is a LOT older than that ....he's brought a couple across the border and it goes pretty slick but you must have all the paperwork in order, which eludes to the fact that you have got to be able to trust the seller, and he has to be someone willing to work with you to get it done. That right there rules out craigslist/ebay/etc ...it'd have to be someone known to others to be reputable.
all it costs to bring a car across is a $100-&-change fee and the taxes as long as the car is at least 15 years old, clear title, registered in the same name as the one on the bill of sale, title at US customs 72 hours prior to the car arriving. The last one he did (this past summer) took 10 minutes flat.
So importing one is "likely" the way I'll do it ...probably less than 8 grand including shipping to the border for a running car that if I don't like I can sell here for double what I have into it.
so yeah ...wrong time of year to be trying to ship a car so I'm not about to buy something in the next week, just trying to get a feel for what stuff is worth as compared to what someone wants to sell it to you for. Everyone has a friend who knows someone to give you a smoking deal of only twice what they paid for it in the same condition ...I've done this all before with bikes and other stuff ...same ****, just heavier and need to do my research :read2:
