GhostlyCoupe is an unknown quantity at this point
To bring in a car that complies that all regulations, it must still be brought to a customs approved port of entry.

You can't just drive it across the Canadian border and legally register it in the US. So while I understand why it seems like an easier/cheaper way .. the reality is it's not in most cases. Once you add in the higher initial price (markup) from the importer (or private seller) for what they paid to take the car from Japan to Canada, then add transportation from Canada to the USA it's really not that much cheaper.
