Default Importing a Mark IV

Hey all, I am new to the forums and just had a few questions. I am currently stationed in Germany and am looking at getting a Mark IV before I leave here in the next year. I have plenty of options from over in England and just wanted to know what kind of restrictions there are on having the car sent back to the US. Also an estimate on price for having to get the car on par with US emission standards. I am definitely getting a right side drive version. Any websites or references you can provide would be of great help.

Not sure if this is helpful or not, but in the US, emissions is state-specific. For example, in Tennessee, there is no emissions check.

What I've heard you have to be more concerned about is whether or not the vehicle meets DOT side impact testing.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.

X2 on this one.
Taking a Euro spec car to the states is possible; however, you will have to convert it to US specs. I am not sure what all you would have to change on it but i would start with what state you plan to register it in and see if you can find some people in that state that may have done the same thing. Side panels and glass durabilities could be some concerns.
