Sorry if this isn't the appropriate sub to ask this. I live in the US, and would like to import a van from Japan, but I have some concerns. Ideally I would be able to drive it as a daily driver, but I would also like to be able to take trips in it, which would include crossing state lines.
My biggest concern is that some vans are so small that they aren't street legal in the US because of bullshit laws, so I'd love a list of vans that are a size that are legal to drive virtually anywhere, even if I'd have to avoid highways. Ive been having a hard time finding specifics on what is and isnt okay, and i would hate to drop 6k and learn that i cant drive it anywhere.
I would also love it if anyone could provide domestic dealers, I've been looking at Cars from Japan, and getting it from my nearest port could be a hassle.
Picture is just a van from carfromjapan that I've been eyeing, 1998 Honda acty.
Tl;dr:
I want a list of vans that are street legal in most or all states & personal opinions on vans. I also would like suggestions for domestic importers to avoid port hassles.
