Hi,
  I need some help with a purchase we are about to make. We are going to buy a 2003
  Eurovan weekender off our friends in Canada. We live in CT. Can anyone give me a
  run down of what it takes to import a vehicle into the U.S.? I can get them to drive it over
  the border as that will have to happen anyways as we don't have a passport yet and don't want to wait for them to process to get the van. Any information and experience you have
  will be greatly appreciated. Were getting a great deal on the van. Its a 2003 with
  50,000 miles. Just had a complete service including a transmission flush,new tires,new
  batteries. Comes with the metal security screens for the front windows,insulated covers
  for the windows,a cabinet that looks like the one Steve at Eurocampers sells,(by the way
  Steve-Lori Hilton in Guilford CT loves hers,got lots of good feedback at a turkey day campout). Were getting it for 21,000 even. The paint is perfect as is the interior. We were
  really looking for a Vanagon Camper but couldn't find a 90-91 in decent shape anywhere near us. Plus we have owned everything from a splitty to a vanagon so far and figured its time for something really plush...
