By doing that they can import say a 1999 or 2000 MY Mini with airbags and fuel injection. |

Replying to: british_rover (Sep 11, 2006 3:41 pm)  Who's the "wise" guy that makes these stupid laws? Aren't they suppose to have someone that really thinks for them? WHERE'S THAT GUY?

Replying to: v_d (Sep 11, 2006 6:36 pm) The number of 25 YO vehicles being imported is so small that their effect on the environment in inconsequential. Those vehicles aren't going to be daily drivers for the most part. Actually, you can import any vehicle you want from abroad. You just have to take the time to federalize it and crash test it. Got an extra $5-7 million hanging around to ensure that $15K Citroen meets US standards?

Any dealers who are friendly to ED and provide discount from US MSRP?
