If the sale happens inside the US and the feds never find out about it its just your local state laws you have to worry about. It still violates federal law and the feds can come after you and crush the car but hey people do all sorts of stupid ****, why stop now.
And a lot of those end up registered in WA state somehow.

So could it be because the cars come into Seattle and Tacoma ports from the Pacific? Works for me and Im an hour from Tacoma! If I can legally purchase and register in Oregon or Washington Im in!
I tried buying from Florida and the seller had a 'flat tire' when my agent showed up for a test drive and then when I arranged someone else, they said he canceled and he said THEY canceled and its obviously not going to work!
If one finds a good deal, its always an attempt to sell you a pretty picture but who knows what the actual car you will get is really like! Smoke and mirrors.
These are not odd cars but regular models already approved by EPA, out of the German factory but shipped to Asia rather than the US..(mostly)
