This is a very delayed update to my prior post, where I was considering returning my '94 with me to the States, given we were returing to the States with no plan to return to Costa Rica. That was 2018 and we came back to the US without LC. I sold it to the first person that came looking. That LC was absolutely gorgeous with a bunch of features that I would have made it unique stateside. My wife still gripes at me for leaving it behind; she knew I would regret not taking it home, and should jjust show patience by waiting a year to register. Boy, here we are at the end of 2024 and I kick myself every day. I've never seen a '94 cleaner than that one, with extremely low miles, and I was the second owner. And, from what I can tell a quality, low mileage '94 80 series has really gone up in price here in the States. Oh well!I had intended to load the vehicle with a bunch of household personal stuff we're taking back to the States. Rather than paying the airline to ship a dozen totes, I was going to just put them in the Cruiser and ship it which, in effect, offsets one type of shipping costs vs. another, but I would end up with my 80 in NC as a side benefit. in research I did today, it seems that having personal stuff inside the transported vehicle is forbidden. That fact, along with being short of the 25 year mark, plus the safety restriction issues, I'm not sure shipping it the States is worth the effort. I sure hate to leave it behind, but I think doing so may be the most practical solution. I'm going to start looking at cargo shipping of just household goods, even if it takes months to get there. Like I said, I think the truck is somewhat unique and would be well suited for the States, but getting there is more than problematic. Thanks for all the comments.
To be clear the only way would have been to store it down there tell it was 25 years old. You can not get it through customs tell tell it 25 years oldThis is a very delayed update to my prior post, where I was considering returning my '94 with me to the States, given we were returing to the States with no plan to return to Costa Rica.
