Hi, former Defender 90 owner here who's now driving Toyota stuff.
But have a Land Rover question for those who are whizzes with VINs and countries and so on. I've exported plenty of vehicles from the US, but haven't imported many.
A colleague (investment banker) living in Brasil is now moving to New York. Like many in Rio, she drives a (lightly) armored Land Rover, in her case an LR2 with Level III protection. It is the petrol model.
I'm trying to figure out whether she can take her car with her to New York, or if she would be better off selling it in Brasil and buying a Range Rover or some other LR product in NYC.
Vehicle shipping from Rio to Baltimore is reasonable, but I'm more worried about DOT/EPA/Customs/etc.
Bottom line: Is it possible and worth the hassle, or is it a no-go even if the exact same vehicle is sold in the U.S. market?
I can send the VIN if that's helpful, but don't want to post it.
Cheers,
