Default Buying a C70 from Mexico

Hey there guys, I need a little advice. There is a C70 that I want to buy here in Texas, which was originally sold in Mexico. When I buy it, it will come with an "Export Only" Title.

How hard is it to get this car modified to meet usa EPA and DOT standards so that I can register it here in Texas?

Does it already meet usa EPA and DOT standards? If not, how much do you think it might cost?

Thanks for reading & offering suggestions...

- Corey

Most C70's that where brought into Mexico were imported from the USA originally. I would tend to think that they would already meet standards. I have a 2004 that I purchased in Merida Mexico that was imported from the States (New) and it meets all US Standards and Canadian

The car had to meet EPA standards and any certified local dealership or mechanic can do this. Then of course had to pay state and local tax before new pink slip would be issued
