I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think you can't export seized Skylines from the US to Canada or Mexico. They have to go to countries that don't border the US methinks.

kinda seems like a scam to be but what do i know haha

I find it weird that a "seizure" would be sold privately on ebay....

I don't know how they work in the states but over here the government themselves sells seizures off their website. I mean it's seized, the government should have it in his possession unless it hasn't been seized yet.

[Mitsuboost30]

the gov actually outsources auction companys to sell their seizures.

I dont see why you cant bring this into Canada.. cause its legal here..

[DarkCaporaL]

If it's the US legislation my best guess is that they dont want the car to be driven back into the country?

I don't know I've never read US seizure/export legislation nor do I feel interested in reading them.

[dah_hunter]

Meh.. i dont care to either.. lol.

[future_R34]

i have been in contact with the seller. i asked him about the seizure thing, he said it has a SF97 form which is a form to obtain a title...but who would i have to contact to ask about the import law about seized cars???

i camn get it shipped for about $2500.., so i would like to jump on it if i can...

[needavdub]

From what I understand US seized cars cannot be exported to countries that share a US border. Most likely to prevent people who are sneaky from "selling" to a friend in Canada or Mexico and sneaking it back in later.

Sadly, many of these cars end up getting crushed because it's cheaper to just buy one in Europe/Asia than it is to import from the States.

There should be some sort of clause in that law where you have to sign an agreement to have it insured in your name for the following year or 2 after the sell date. Or something along those lines.

But what a steal at that price if some one can pick it up! My 32 was astronomical compared to that, and ive only had it 2 years haha.

there is no reason you cannot purchase and import this car.

It just needs to leave the usa
