For sale is a 1994/95, 2 door extended cab, with power steering, and featuring a Daihatsu built Toyota 14b Diesel. $20,000.00 USD. I don't have interior or undercarriage images yet. Can enter the US on Jan 1, 2020. This truck is currently in Northern Brazil. We do not stock stateside, but find...

Yep Lucio is awesome. STAImports isnylt the only one he supplies in the US. All inclusive would be your total cost btw.

Also for mileage, odo says 34,492 but I always tell people there is no way to guarantee it on a 5 digit odo. Play it safe and assume its probably rolled.

This one runs a factory Mercedes OM314 Diesel

My supplier in Brazil has a 1983 Toyota Bandeirante, long chasis. This model is incredibly clean, unrestored. Comes with original manuals and has the much preferred Land Cruiser grill. Asking $24,500 USD more info below pics. We offer a complete, all inclusive import service. Meaning, we have...

This appears to be the wrong forum, not sure how to delete this here. I reposted in the vehicle section.. My supplier in Brazil has a 1983 Toyota Bandeirante, long chasis. This model is incredibly clean, unrestored. Comes with original manuals and has the much preferred Land Cruiser grill...

Trucks from Japan (TFJ) is based out of Ohio. We started out importing mini trucks, 4x4 vans, and other vehicles from Japan. That is how we got our feet wet in the importing business. We started to get requests to source Land Cruisers and other vehicles which led us to start looking for partners...

Awesome, thanks for that. I hope this is going well for you! If you need anything else let me know.

I agree. Logistics chain is huge and something a lot of people dont understand the importance of, or the cost. Very important to be upfront on fees throughout the process.

Pretty sure gas has to be 1967 or earlier to be exempt, Diesel is 1979 or earlier. You are correct that most Central and South American cruisers are no AC, no Heat, but from an AC standpoint, an underdash unit can be added in country prior to export. We primarily source from Costa Rica and also...

RORO is a great option depending on the country. For Costa Rica and Brazil we always do container, but Japan is almost always RORO and a heck of a lot cheaper.

For the shipping alone...no. I would have to pull up my last quote from there, but shipping to Baltimore is around $2600. Fees can add up on that end due to taxes and red tape, but in general, i think its around 5k for us INCLUDING sourcing, multiple vehicle inspections, engine compression...

Statement of conformity usually applies to vehicles under 25 years old, if I am not mistaken. If it is older than February 1994 right at this moment, you shouldnt need it, but you will need all the other documents required for import. Also, Ive never had to supply the Department of Revenue...

We are working on finding a good exporter in Italy. I found an older Gelandwagen there for a client and am sticking to our standard vetting process. I want to make sure we have a solid inspection process lined up as well. If we figure everything out ill let you know, but it will probably be...

Correct, sometimes you can find the dealer if there are pics with their name and general info in them, or some of the dealer plates on the cars. 中古車・中古車情報なら【カーセンサーnet】 Also a good source, but a bit confusing even with google translate 😃
