Canadian 2014 Vanquish...any issues in USA?

Check the engine for maple syrup

 

You'll still have to go through the regular importation process and meet US-spec if it already doesn't. You can try contacting Aston Martin directly to see if it already complies and if it does, they can provide a letter saying that it does so no modifications would need to be made. If they say otherwise, you'll have to import it through a registered importer that will then need to find what must be changed. That's what I learned with my failed attempt at trying to get an E39 M5 over (nice BMW Individual spec) without issue...at least BMW AG and USA were quick to reply.

 

i would think if the car has been formally imported from Canada to the USA and is registered inthe USA, which i did not think possible to be cost effective, then you should be ok.

 

Yes, he just needs to verify it has properly been imported otherwise he has to do it himself. Even if it has a USA license plate, it may not be legal by Federal law. for instance, the FL DMV issues plates to imported cars (like the Nissan Skylines here) that don't meet Federal standards and they are still illegal and can face exportation if the Feds find out.

 

No as long as the car was switched from kilometers to mph.
The odometer would be off for states like New York who want the mileage on your renewals....
You know taxes, also daylight running light, its a program switch.
Good luck.

Used cars from Florida are always guilty until proven innocent. FL will register and title anything regardless if it meets Federal (DOT/EPA) standards upon importation. A FL title doesn't automatically mean you're in the clear. You can submit the VIN to Aston and ask if it meets US regulations. If they say it doesn't, then ask the seller who was the Registered Importer for the car and then contact them for paperwork (assuming the seller doesn't have it).

 

There's a grey/red 599 that's in FL and is asking $124k... VIN shows it's a Middle East car only recently registered in FL late last year.

 

If you're keeping the car in FL, you could probably get away with having a car like that. It's also not hard to get a FL dealer license plate and keep a car around that way, too, without having to fully register it and pay taxes on it.

There are a number of R33 and R34 Skyline GTRs in FL that skate by without issue, but it's a risk they're willing to take.
