Has anyone done this? I found a car I really like... 2004 Toyota Echo RS 5dr hatchback...iv seen them selling for around 3-4k. I was just wondering if you guys know how difficult it is or expensive this would be to bring this car to the usa, since it was never sold here?

I did see that it has the same motor as the scion xa/xb so emissions shouldnt be a problem. Im worried about the headlights and bumper safety not passing. Its just a mix of toyota echo/scion xa/xb...i really hope it wont cost tons.

Any thoughts on this?
