I want to ask the Senator if he can get rid of this 25 year import ban.

Bernie isn't a fan of cars, so I'd say no.

Eh he is anti big money though and Mercedes lobbed millions of dollars to get this ban passed.

He’d probably ask why the interest on vehicle purchases is 2.5% while school loans sit at 7%... again... Dude needs to get a better grasp on economics before he gets considered. When he can figure out how to repossess an education, let me know.

You’re in an awfully big hurry to pay $30,000 for a 20 year old Nissan.

I'll be 25 by the time it gets legal.

Or, just remember that the President has no business caring about this law and that congress are the ones who you need to be in touch with.

Rand was our shot at getting rid of crap regulation. Too late.

You need more than one senator and/or president. It’s a law, not a regulation, so an act of congress is what is needed. Bring about $20B an bribe the relevant congress critters for about 5 election cycles or so and you’ll have maybe a 55% chance of getting what you want.
...actually make that $40B. You’ll need it to fight off the foreign auto industry who will be lobbying to keep the import laws they originally lobbied for in tact.

He is a senator.

I’m mean to be fair to him, he couldn’t hold a job until he was 40. Oh wait, yeah he probably shouldn’t be the voice economics.

I don’t think they will ever truly get rid of it, but we can ask for a change in the years, like 15 instead of 25.

In case anyone was wondering, im bernies exact demographic. 21 year old college Student and a lot of us make fun of him for that comment

Which is cool, but you’ll still need oodles of money to buy one. The importers aren’t going to be doing anyone any favors.

Haha, yeah, sorry dude. The rudeness there occurred to me after I posted it. I’m in a shitty mood and I’m exhausted by people associating all of the country’s successes and failures with the president. I violated rule #1. :(

He hasn’t tried to yet, so I’m going to say your chances are slim.

If you live in the more northern part of the United Staes wait until a car you’re interested in is going to be legal for import in a few months and start looking in Canada. I saw some reasonably priced Skylines for sale in Vancouver, BC a couple months before they were legal to import into America and I was very tempted to jump on one and store it with a friend of mine who lives up there until it was 25.

Yeah but who wants a Canadian GTR? It’ll be covered in syrup by now.

I’ll take a sticky one if it’s a cheap one.

Sorry bud, but Bernie probably isn't your man for anyting having to do with "removing restrictions on a free market"

Fixed. Sadly.

Asking his thoughts wouldn't hurt.

I would love to know if he even heard about this issue before.

This. He probably doesn't even know what it is.

If I were you, I'd continue to consider that, given the current bottom barrel exchange rate.

Yeah, but I don’t live there :(

But I live in Oregon so if I was buying a car from Canada it would be from there.
