Sounds great!

I'm really fond of the Evo 5, so are you getting any used? Also, have you guys already gone through all the procedures to bring them in or will this take a while?

Thanks,

Mark

Are we looking at outrageous pricing, like Motorex charges for their imported Skylines, or are these going to be comparative to what they would be sold at through a dealer.

The cars are all LHD and will take up to 3 months to update it to us spec. we can bring any year evolution in but some might take more work than others. We are working on a web page now till take some time. We just started the company about two weeks ago so we have alot of work to before we really go public. We are taking down payments for the evo VI TM editions and well sell the frist 15 for about $55,000. We know of only 34 new cars left but we can get all the used cars you want.. We will also start the sevens soon as well which we get 300 a year to sell, they only make 2000 LHD a year.prices will be from about $35,000 USED to about $100,000 for a RS 450 NEW. any questions e-mail me at euro16v@bellsouth.net or Adam at evolutionimports@aol.com

If I can locate an used EVO, will you be able to "convert" it to pass US EPA & DOT requirement? How much would this whole process cost?

We can or you may find a car then ship it here where it has to be brought up to us spec-bumper- lights etc.. and a new computer with OBD2 has to applied- but dont worry we made sure that it dosnt efect hp.. this process dosnt take to much time about 3-4 months shipping and converting. most used cars will be around $30,000 and goes up from there.. The process takes alot of money hell crash testing the cars alone takes 600,000 plus three cars.. so you see we are tring to keep cost as low as possable thanks

Question

So if your doing the crash testing and becoming a legal importer for street us then the DOT should have you on record right? What years of the Evo are you referring to and only the GSR or the RS model as well? Do you have a business license number that we can verify? How much does this conversion cost? When is the DOT or NHTSB going to add the Evo to the importable cars list? Won't we still be required to put forward a bond worth 150% the value of the car before it can leave the customs yard for your shop? What will the car then have to registered as?

When are you being added to the list as well as when is the car being added. Have you met all the requirements of the DOT, NHTSA as well as the treasury customs?
