importation into the US

[GreenGiant]

Has anyone checked into the possibility of importing a V-class into the US? What sort of red tape would this entail? IS the James Cook version of the Sprinter going to be available in the US?

Someone must have imported a Vito since I saw one for sale on Ebay. I haven't heard anything about the James Cook version being imported but there is at least one converter producing motorhomes on the Sprinter chassis here in the USA. Do a Mercedes search on RVTrader and you will find quite a few listed.
I have a Trueblood conversion 409d that was imported in the mid 80's.

With Chrysler dealers selling Sprinters now, there ought to be a lot of new conversions available in the future.

NOT WORTH TO IMPORT...

Hello,

I have a Vito 220 CDI 1999 with 120 Kilos and California titled for sale. It is the full leather with hydralic air suspension, diagnostic interface cable with CD and Lorinser 17" wheels. This is a 5 speed manual with 2.2 turbo diesel. Ski rails for the roof. Has all four leather seats and tow package. If anyone is interested please just email me or post any questions ed@speedyard.com

I will have pictures posted by the end of this week.

While I am here, does anyone think ebay would be a good option to sell this kind of vehicle? Thank you Ed

U still have it? I'm interested!

How did this van get titled in California? This is a non US model vehicle and is supposed to be impossible to federalize in the US. I have been interested in bringing a Westfalia poptop conversion over and have only hit dead ends. Any info you may have on importing one would be very helpful.
