Importing

Does anyone know if its possible to import a car from the US if it doesn't have a title?

Hi Dan,

Yes it is possible to import a non-titled car from the US - legally.
It costs around £150 extra, and you have to buy a shipping title.
Essentially, the £150 covers a number of database searches to make sure the car isn't registered stolen, etc - before they issue you an exportation title.

Generally I wouldn't recommend a non-titled car unless you have a very good reason (e.g. it's a pilot car, or a car intended for parts). Cheap non titled cars are more likely to have been involved in severe collision damage - and 'losing' the title is a useful way of selling on the problem to someone else.

Happy to help you out if you want to go this route - we can discuss in more detail at the tech session on Sunday.
