Buying a South American fj40 (1 Viewer)

[googledave]

Has anyone had any experience buying an fj40 from South America? I have family that live in Brazil and was thinking of buying a sweet 1992 bandeirante and shipping to the us but really have no idea where to begin. Like I said I have family down there so buying the rig is the easy part. Thanks

Make sure to get plenty of pics or even better have someone trustworthy inspect it. Seems like you never know what you're going to get

Lots of suspect "restorations"

If I was going to import something, I’d get a FJ45 pickup.
