※ 引述《awincnts (awin)》之銘言：
: 我今年秋季要到美國讀PhD，我想把車（美規CAMRY 2.2）運到美國，我知道很多人直覺
: 不划算，但我覺得若費用或手續不是太離譜，還是值得做。主要理由是：
: 1. 若我沒帶走，它會被賣掉，以它十年高齡（雖然才跑140000KM），相信不能賣到好價錢，而明明還非常好用。
: 2. 保障：即使在美國買，也是買二手的，車子的狀況總是難以掌握。還是自己的車最保障。
: 3. 使用時間長：沒有個五年，我也拿不到學位，到時我也不打算把她運回台灣
: 請各位指點我該到哪去得到相關資訊與規定，我沒什麼頭緒。謝謝！

It's relative cheaper to import foreign car into US than bring your car
back to TW. However, the regulation and all the inspection is still
trivial, boring and time consuming.You might want to check the specific
regulation about this in the state you want to go. For example, althought
you car is US Camry2.2, it may not meet with the more strict emission
standard in California.
I got a ten-year old Camry two years ago (140000Mile, not Km), only
cost me 3,000 $. So I guess it's not worth it. I know a lot of people tend
to bring everything they are familiar with to US when then first come
to study in order to get some sense of security or safety. But my two
cents is, don't do that. It will significantly decrease your learning
curve and loss chance of gaining valuable experience.
In this case, I'll bet one hundred to one that it's not worth it. Unless
you are very, very ,very confident that your Camry will beat the
hell of all the other Camrys in the same year with simialr condition.
