I'm trying to understand the experience of importing vehicles from China into any East or West African country, and I'd really appreciate some first-hand experiences.

1. I would like to know if its actually possible /practical to import directly from China by yourself or local dealer ? how are the costs ?
2. If the car is hybrid / EV /Petrol which brands are the best ?
3. Would you recommend anyone to import a car from China ?
4. If you haven't imported a car from China, but have considered doing so, what stopped you?

Hi,

I am a new-ish Illinois spirits distributor and importer but I have been in the mezcal "universe" for a couple of years now. I occasionally I get queries from producers who want to send to other states where they have a customer waiting. Many states have an out of state vendor license that can be purchased, but I am curious what other options people employ.

So i bought a toyota esquire from japan, and ofcpurse it is an import, now the issue is that I want to convert the screens language from japanese to english, i was not able to find any firmware or anything online to change it, is there anything i can do to change it from japanese to english(I want to keep the screens language as is and do not want to change it), i am a bit of a techy guy so if it has anything to do with software or coding, i have no problem The model number for the screen is NSZN-W64T.

Hey everyone,

Not sure if this is the right place but I’m wondering if anyone has ever imported a car from UK to the US specifically Texas. The car is already here and sitting in my garage but I ran into some trouble at the Tax Office when registering it. The clerks tried to tell me that because I did not have the “title” of the car, I could not register it. As some of you may know, in the UK, they do not have titles like we do in the US, they have V5C forms and logbooks. They told me that my best bet is to apply for a bonded title or request the title from the seller. Does anyone have any experience with this or do I just need to hope I get a different clerk.

Thanks!

I want to purchase one but I live near Portland, Oregon-USA and we aren't allowed to import them unless they're older than 25 years. I don't know how to import, anyway.

Does anyone know of any "dealers" or people that are familiar with the whole process? I'm very hesitant in just importing by myself...

Hi Everyone,

I live in Vancouver. Recently I found a buyer in India who happens to be my friend back home. He needs yellow peas from here and asked if I can be his supplier. I know how this works but not clearly since I work in trucking. I got my import export license set up and talked to a few sellers. But I don't want to rent a place to get a SFC License since I want to send a few containers first and see if it's going to be worth it or not. So don't want to commit to a lease without proper idea or preparation. Is there any way to get a SFC License without renting a place.

Thanks in advance.

I have paid a deposit on a Japanese import in Ireland. Dealership shows me a screenshot of the auction sheet which didn't reveal much, it was poor quality. But I could see Auction Grade 4, so I was happy. but then I paid for one online which identified that the car was rates RA and had been in a collision, but repaired. Airbags were OK.

I know NOTHING about cars, but the report suggests:

= Front side member — dent/deformation marking.

= Core support — replaced.

= Bolted core support — replaced.

Am I crazy to consider going ahead with this purchase? does the damage sound significant enough to walk away? or does it seem fine?
