[Jenness]

Looking to purchase a 6gc GT in either Detroit or Chicago.

Unfortunately, I only drive auto. Is anyone here selling? =D

Excellent guide to importing! Your experience definitely verifies all the research I've done on the subject thus far and also fills in some of the blanks in my reading. I wasn't sure how the title was going to be transferred and how the temporary plate would be handled. I noticed that you didn't mention anything about the 6.1% duty though. Weren't Celicas manufactured in Japan and then shipped over here? Are used vehicles not subject to duty?

I guess I have reservations about how the transaction (with deposit and title transfer) would go with me being from across the border. I'd wanted to spend maybe 4-5 days vacationing in the States, which would make it difficult to get all the paperwork in order on time. I also wanted to get an inspection done on the vehicle before purchase, so that's another step that would complicate the process. Maybe I should just forget about the vacation and focus on getting a car. =/

ETA: Oh, and um, unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a suitable car in Buffalo. It was the first place I looked, but no luck.
