It seems that I may be forced into selling my Evo 8 MR FQ 320 (that I have from new) because I cannot import it to Norway due to a lack of a legal Certificate of Conformity.
So, it this fear of mine really proves real, what car would you go for as a replacement. It has to:
1. Be exciting to drive
2. Fit a baby seat in the back (not necessary a four door car though)
3. Should not cost more than 25k quid as used.
I dont get this I have seen Evos and imprezas in norway and sweden. How do they get rally cars in for instance? I know what you shouldn't get unless you are really good driver, something powerful and RWD! It's either wet or snowing in Norway most of the time!
To get a Legal certificate of conformity, you get hold of an importer in Norway, thats used to importing cars. He will charge around 5000kr. and get you this. I had the same issue in DK. It is possible.
I have been in contact with the local authorities, the Norwegian Mitsi and the Misti in the UK. Mitsi UK does not issue CoC for Evos (due to them being technically an import with an Japanese 11-digit VIN number). The Norwegian Mitsi will have to call UK... and my UK dealer refuses to give me an informal paper regarding the emissions of the car (which is what Norway is really asking about)
My first thought was a Scooby, but I think they have the same issue with the Evo's when it comes to the Certificate of Conformity... so I may not be able to import it
I used to have an 8 260 in Norway some years ago and it is quite a nice place for an EVO. I have not directly had any contact with this company, but they have imported a lot of special evos through the years, could maybe be worth contacting them and ask if they have any advice?
Although Mitsubishi UK can not provide me with the Certificate of Conformity, they can provide me with what is called the Statement of Compliance.... The latter provides all the data that the Norwegians have asked and even more!:crackup: And they had told me that they would accept anything that comes from Mitsubishi that connects the VIN number with tech characteristics
So, the Evo is coming to Norway after all. I am really very happy! Like when I first bought it back in 2005 :smthumbup
Not sure if the mk3 RS will drop much. The lowest I saw the mk2 rs fall was 18k for a decent low miler. Give it 3 years when the pcp deals expire then you might see the mk3 at a lower price.
