Default Question about how to import a JDM car?

Do any of you guys know how, and how much money it would cost to import a car straight from Japan any RHD car? How much would it cost to register the car in the states?

I heard you can rip out the engine and ship the shell/engine separately as a project/parts car. Not sure how true...

Im a customs Broker, I work in imports... i can answer all your questions.PM me if you like

Truth of the matter is... Unless your rich, your not going to do it. Ive seen many people Bring cars into port, not checking first, and then there funds get exhausted (SOMETIMES BEFOR REPAIRS HAVE EVEN BEEN STARTED)

There are a few cars that can come through with no problem. Again, if you or anyone have any questions... You can contact me...

also if you wanna import parts and what not, i can take care of that too.So if any of you were looking for a connection...look no furthur
