Has anyone here done this before? How difficult is this to do? How much tax do you have to pay?

Anything and everything you know, post it here.

If its a jdm car then your in for a major headache getting it across the border and registered. Its possible but it takes time. I know a kid that just imported a R32 GTR and it took him a few months to find a legal loop hole.

Here's some info from local Washingtonians.

Edit- Just saw that your from Cali so it maybe even harder down there with how strick they are with modified imports.

it's not a jdm car. not rhd either. its over 21 years old.

and we have this car here in the US, just overpriced lol. so i would think the car should meet the US safety regulations as far as the crash bar/bumpers etc.

i know that you would need to pay sales tax for where you are located. the average for the average for most major cities in Washington is 9.5%.
im sure you would need to get an emissions test done.
and there is the possibility it would need to be inspected same as a salvaged vehicle would be

I would imagine it would be fine but most likely subject to inspection at WSP.

You might want to try giving them a call or the DMV or customs maybe. You could prolly try the emissions place too to see what their standards are, but I doubt they could give you much information.

This link might be helpful for you, not sure but couldn't hurt to check it out:
