cannondale27,
Somehow I think that it this guy takes the sled to the police and goes back to the guy he bought it from.......... Not thinking that guy is going to just refund the money, especially with the sled sitting at the police station?????
And yes, title is a state by state thing.
I have my thoughts on why Norway would not let you import the RX-1. It is much like here and in Canada. If a car or other vehicle doesn't have the sticker that says "meets all Canadian and USA standards" it is much more difficult to import. At that point, you have to get a manufacturer letter saying it does meet those standards, well if it doesn't actually meet standards, they aren't likely to give you that letter.
When my wife and I got married, we have to leave her car behind in Canada, just cause the sticker had fallen off from under the hood, and it was WAY TOO MUCH OF A PAIN to write the manufacturer and wait that long to import a commuter car.
