      I think you missed the point again. That’s only 2 years old. They need to be 25+ to be easily imported into the US. Otherwise you’ll pay tariffs and they’d be subjected to the same safety tests required for new vehicles sold in America. It’s only because they’re 25+ years old that they aren’t subjected to the standard rules on imports.

          That’s fair, it probably wouldn’t be importable (until 2047) since it likely wouldn’t pass the fmv safety tests. I just wanted to stress that the loophole that allows them to be imported requires the vehicle to be 25+ years old.
