Up for sale is a very nice Defender 110. As you are probably assuming from the price it IS NOT one of the original NA 500. This truck is located in Costa Rica BUT it is configured the same as the 500 that went to the States (gas engine etc. and is the only 1993 defender in Costa Rica) It would be possible to import right now (see below but I'm not sure what's involved in confirming to NA spec) BUT in just over three years it will fall into the 25yr old category and will be able to easily be imported into the U.S. As it is currently is configured as well. I have bought a couple old trucks from Costa Rica and imported them and it is quite simple. You either ship or drive it in and at the border if it's 25yrs or older you have it inspected and pay about a 2% tax and you are on your way. Take the import papers you received to your local DMV to apply for what ever states title you reside. The truck is located here in San Jose at the countries premier Land Rover/ Land Cruiser dealership. I have an agreement with the guys at the dealership to list it in the US and handle sell for them as I've worked with them before with vehicles. It is a dealership that only deals in LRs in great condition, it has been gone through by their mechanics that were trained in the US. It is very simple to get a Costa Rican title in your name (takes around a week-10days, a ballpark 100. Lawyer fee and around 4-500. In taxes) I had seen the obscene prices these go for is the US and thought this would be a great opportunity for someone to buy one at literally a fraction of the price and maybe go exploring this beautiful country and take a Central American trip (which I've done in a old toyota and was amazing) and have a heck of a deal. If you are not the adventurous kind simply ship RORO (roll on roll off) to Miami for 900. I would honestly buy it if I had the money but I've got one of the old BJ40 toyotas down here right now. The truck is in great shape but I took photos to show the 3 tiny blemishes it does have. One in a small scratch below the spare tire in the back, another is a small scuff on the front driver side fender and the last is a very tiny little ding ontop of the front passenger fender, might be hard to see but just wanted to show it. Also the pics show the side brackets of the luggage rack look to have been repaired at some point. It does not have a radio but other than that the interior is nice. Has 96000k which equals 59500mi. Would not accept the vin so I included a pic of it. I am currently here in Costa Rica and would be glad to pick you up at the airport and show you the truck. Think you can find round trips here for around 4-500. Feel free to ask questions. I am a honest person that aquired my feedback from selling classic trucks and small classic aircraft. I have talked with a official from the import and certification division and the response is as follows:Dear Calvin,We have determined 1993 Land Rover Defender 110's to be eligible for importation, but they would need to be imported by a registered importer or by a person who has a contract with a registered importer to modify the vehicle so that it complies with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) following importation. There is a list of registered importers in active status on our website at www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/import. You might want to contact one or more of the importers on that list to discuss the feasibility of importing the vehicle in question and the cost of modifying it to all applicable standards. Alternately you could leave the vehicle in Costa Rica until 25 years have elapsed from the vehicle date of manufacture (which means the month and year in which the vehicle was manufactured, and not the year alone), and then import the vehicle as a twenty-five year old vehicle under Box 1 on the HS-7 Declaration form. As you are undoubtedly aware, a 25-year-old vehicle can be lawfully imported without regard to its compliance with otherwise applicable FMVSS.I hope this is helpful.Coleman Sachs, ChiefImport and Certification DivisionOffice of Vehicle Safety Compliance
