I'm thinking about buying a ti. Ask all your questions about the possible purchase of a ti. Keep in mind, we are biased.

Forget it. You need to look into getting it federalized for US spec.
Shipping is the least of your problems.

Not to mention the right-hand-drive aspect!

RHD would be cool and unique on some cars, but it's actually a hinderance on the ti. One of the UK guys was talking about how the much longer throttle cable inhibits throttle respone, among other things.

It would cost you at least $10k to have it converted to US spec. Split the difference and get a nice one that's here already.
