pitfalls of buying a vehicle from another country

[Robin Craig]

I have offered to help but no one seems to want to engage me to do so.

Frankly, the info I have in my head and the contacts I have made would help anyone importing a vehicle and be a pittance compared to the money you could squander and the grief and delays experienced doing it the wrong way.

I know one forum member who when he did contact me went "doh!" within a few sentences as he found out the aggravation he could have saved himself had he engaged me.

Quite honestly I'm not inclined to blurt out all over the forum what has cost me big dollars and my time which I also value to learn and give that away for free.

I don't ask an exorbitant fee but if you want to go for it on your own . . . fill your boots. Enjoy your added extra costs as you fall foul of the system and your hidden costs mount. Any consulting on importing I have done has always paid the client dividends and my modest fee has been well recouped by the savings.

The blunt end result is this, your going to pay something somewhere. Being cheap isnt going to be cheap in the long run, trust me.
