Supra TT - Export to USA

[r2ck_p]

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone has exported their Supra TT to the USA, how they found the process, what price you achieved etc

 

My JDM Supra TT hits 25 years old in July next year and I am considering listing it for export as I am seeing the prices over their are significantly more then the UK.

 

Just wanted some advice if anyone has been through the process before and pit falls to avoid.

 

Cheers

I've imported from the USA so done the reverse thing. Any buyer should do all the paperwork and arrange collection so all the seller needs to do is present the documents or accepted copies to the freight forwarder to enable them to complete the required customs declarations.

 

As a private seller you are asking a lot of someone thousands of miles away to give you a fair amount of money so that will be your limiting aspect. After all, would you be happy to send Hank in Iowa $40,000 of your hard earned because he has posted up a few pictures of a car on the internet?

 

There are traders here in the UK who market Yank cars that are still in the USA so maybe you can find someone in the USA to market the car on your behalf which would overcome the buyer dealing with someone in a foreign land issue. You'd need to trust that a broker/marketer would in the end pass on the proceeds less their commission. Whichever way you play it there is a lot of money hanging out there for someone. If you insist on payment on or ahead of collection I don't think you'll see much if any interest from the USA when they can buy RHD cars direct from Japan for the same or lower price than you'd be likely hoping for.
