Another skyline attempt.

[Charismatic215]

Forgive me if this is not the right section for it. From my research it seems there is a way to drive a skyline legally in the us, but the car has to be titled and insured in Canada. So is there anyway I could do a joint title with someone in Canada and then drive it over here? I could have my Canadian friend drive it over the boarder then leave it here. Does anyone see anything wrong with this plan? I live in Seattle BTW Anyone with any knowledge want to chime in ?I am looking at a couple r32 GTrs. I don't see anything that can go wrong here.

In a sense, this could be a way to do it, BUT, I don't know about the two owner rule. Since Canada only has a 15 year law, R 32s are pretty well good to go. Now, as I see it, if you have permant residence in Canada with a proper visa (if you aren't a Canadian citizen), then I can't see where this could be an issue.

Now, getting it accross the border and "leaving it there" might have some repercussions should you get stopped and someone else's name is on the registration/title, especially if you have a U.S. physical address.

Plus, joint ownerships usually have a tendancy to go wrong in one way or another. I had it happen to me. Was co-owner of an older Olds Cutlass 4-4-2, and my partner sold the car out from under me, forged my signature, and bailed out of the state. Ole boy made about $3k profit off the car after resto work we had done, and I saw none of that money, or him. Still don't know what ever happened to the guy.

Anyway, there is always gonna be someone who has a "legal way" to get a Skyline. Just hold out a few more years and you can get yourself one.

Hey man I appreciate your response. Yeah I was wondering if customs keeps track of the car and sees that it never makes it back to Canada will they go far enough to potentially track it down. Being that it is a joint title with me ( 100 percent american citizenship ) and my canadian friend in Canada, I would assume it would be ok even if I did get stopped when driving around in the US but yeah that is the only issue. My Canadian friend has been friends with my parents for like 50 years so I can trust the man. hahah. I guess I could wait a few more years but i'll keep looking in to this

( edit )

also do you have any idea what the insurance and taxes would be over there anyone?

Your best and safest way is to buy one already here for sale. There's a few for sale in WA already that I would say you're better off going with. Getting one from Canada is risky but it works too.

There are other ways and certain people who can get you one, just got to have the right contacts here in the states

[Charismatic215]

Yeah I seen the ones in WA for sale. The gtrs in canada are going for around 9-13k in usd. Whereas here its around 26K+ thats the only reason

IF you have someone who can help me out please let me know thanks
