    I currently live and work in Kuwait, where just about any 360 can be bought for less than $80,000 us. That leaves the potential for quite a bit of profit if sold in the USA. What I can't seem to find an answer on out here is whether the Ferraris sold out here come equipped with US specifications and if not, what modifications would have to be done. Can someone help me out with some guidance?

    Add roughly $20k for federalizing and shipping and remember that the value of that car will be still 20-25% lower then the US car of the same vintage.

    I have imported many exotics from varies countries.
    My 1990 Ferrari Testarossa was from Japan... Check with your local DMV office. Each state has requirements which needs to be meet for safety reason and of course federalizing your car... If your state is harsh like California need to replace windshield, add smog pump. Replace front Bumpers to meet 5 MPH LAWS. Convert European tires to USA SPECTS.. Its a lot of work. Actually you do not save much.. Regardless which country you buy it from.. by the time you include Shipping cost, repair cost , make it USA LEGAL its not worth the hassel... Nothing is impossible it takes a lot of time and money and patience dealing with DMV, Shipping , risk of car getting Damaged . Someone driving it... unforseeable risks... are involved...
    well good luck take care.
