Importing a car to the US fro Canada.

How hard is it to import a Canadian car to the US? The car I'm thinking about is a 2000 Rolls Royce.

I got my Scud from Canada and it was super easy. However it was originally a us car that got imported to canada so it had all the DOT and EPA stickers and it was a 2008.
If the car has those you should be fine. Hopefully not importing it to California as DMV took a long time to get me my title.
TFX transport my car and handle the import papers.

Unfortunately it is a Canadian car. I really don't need another car, but this is something I have always admired.

As a Land Rover enthusiast in WA State I have knowledge of people bringing in Land Rover Defenders. Even for a Canadian car this is easier but not a simple process. I have seen people turned back at the border in Canadian cars when they are driving them back, and also saw someone with one on a trailer was refused entry. Even if you get it in into the USA, Registration can also be difficult without the correct papers, (unless you live in a lenient state). The Feds seized 40 Land Rovers and crushed a number of these. My friend used to work for a "Registered Importer" in Florida and the entire business was focussed on importing grey market Rolls Royces. You can't import a vehicle that was not originally sold in the USA unless it is over 25 years old or the manufacturer assists with providing certification data and it is modified as necessary by a Registered Importer. Modifications include installing side marker lights, airbag safety stickers and other similar things. A 2000 Rolls Royce is not on the EPA list of exceptions that have already been allowed. Rolls likely won't cooperated with you on this.
Don't even try it.

You live in Florida, there's probably more Rolls in Miami Beach than all of Canada
