First off, lemme say that I'm not currently shopping for a new vehicle, I'm just checking the feasibility of different options for future reference.

If I do decide to buy an Evo somewhere down the line, I want an MR, and I'd prefer to have it in blue, but for whatever stupid reason they don't make those for the US market even though Canada is right next door and gets them.

So how difficult is it to import a car from Canada, assuming I could find what I want there?

 

I dont think its a good idea......a mr here in Canada with taxe you will end up paying 55 000$ Canadian.................

 

No matter how you slice it you will end up paying more. There is a Blue 08 MR in Calgary without the sun and sound package going for $43K Canadian which would come with heated seats but essentially a base US MR. Even with the exchange you would end up paying much more than you would on an equivalent US model.

 

dude just buy an 08 mr here which is a lot cheaper and paint it. I bet you will still have a lot of funds let if you went that route.

 

There are services that can handle the paperwork for you. You have to have written certification from the manufacturer that the car complies with EPA and safety regulations. It probably does but getting the documentation is the annoying part.

I agree that getting custom paint would be a lot easier and probably more interesting.

 

buy the cheapest MR you can find and get it painted. lol

 

What he said! This way you will be fully warrantied in the states too! Same reason why not many people have imported them gsr with SSS packages to Canada for now

 

^^ yes, please do that. if you do find a blue one, trust me you will be less than pleased with the ****ty paintjob mitsubishi gives you and end up painting it the first 3-5 years you have it anyway

 

Hardly! He modified the car! Warranty voided!
