    Importing a car

    There is also the question of the title. It would need an apostile from the state of issue. Of course it may not have any liens upon it. Providing the specific details to a qualified despachante would determine if it could be imported. With Steve's comments noted above.

    Bajo is correct. They use computers !!! Imagine that. If you think switching passports will help , sorry , you are dreaming. It is still up to the immigration officer if they want to do anything.
