Re: [T3] Injector problem?

This is usually called 'grey market,' as in not illegal but not smiled upon, and it's pretty common. My car came in with a US serviceman who'd been stationed in Germany. The deal then was that if you put 10K klicks on it, you could ship it to the US duty-free. A friend of mine bought a Eurovan for a tour of Europe and brought it back with him on a similar deal and saved a ton of money over buying retail at home. Duties and subsequent retail markups on new cars are substantial coming into the US.
