We'd love to bring in a little Citroen or something when my fiancee comes to the States. She's used to little European-market diesels that get 45mpg =) and not really interested in learning to parallel-park a Caprice!

I know the usual DOT rules, but I had thought there's some exception for bringing in a single car when immigrating to the USA? I know there used to be (I know of someone who did it, years ago), but perhaps this loophole doesn't exist anymore. Any ideas? Registered importers cost too much to be worth it for a car like this; for the extra 30 grand it would add to the price, a diesel Benz would make a lot more sense.

And yeah, I'm aware of the parts headaches. I'm a restorer and hobbyist so I'm familiar with tracking down spares and waiting forever for them to come in. Probably we'd stockpile the stuff we're most likely to use, and have the rest sent air freight. As a gearhead I totally support her interest in having a very unique ride =)

Thanks in advance!

Some people say I'm easily distracted, but that's not... Hey! A squirrel!
