Importing

Jit13 · 07-10-2010, 08:34 PM

Hi I am looking to import a 2010 370z nismo edition brand new or used. I am in canada (vancouver,bc) I am willing to fly to see it and if everything is good then I will buy it(ship it to blaine,washington usa) and import it myself.

for some reason I am having problems finding a dealer willing to sell to me...

I asked Fontana Nissan and FuszNissan both said no for some reason..

Why do you want to import, if you don't mind me asking. That's kind of a complicated process.

Welcome! Best of luck to you!

+1. Why can't you buy one in Canada?

Nismos are not available in canada

My old 350z track was imported (from portland, usa) and I had no problems with that (but was a private sale)

Any reason why you want the NISMO specifically? It lacks a lot of options you can get on the Touring model and isn't any better than the Sport package in terms of performance.

If it's a looks thing slowly but surely aftermarket companies are copying the NISMO kit.

You have to go there and buy it, let the customs know 72 hrs in advance before you cross over. There's alot more rules and guidelines to follow.

I don't see why you can't buy one?

C'mon Lou!!

I'd rather have the original + I like the interior better and I don't really care for comfort or audio..

I agree, I'd go with Touring/Sport. But thats just me

I'm not sure how familiar you are with the process, but here is some info.

Sounds like a PITA that's very costly. I'd just mod a canadian model fwiw.
