While I don't currently live in Florida I have registered cars there in the
past. Florida does not have a motor vehicle inspection system anymore. My
experience is that when registering a vehicle for the first time a clerk
will come out to the car and take a rubbing of your VIN. Unfortunately they
also have some pretty high fees for registering vehicles brought in from out
of state. Best do some checking before hand, have you checked for a web
page????
Good luck

Subject: Inspection Regs in Fla?
Hey All:
Any Floridians on the list? I am interested in importing a car form
a northern state to the state of Sun, Hurricanes, Thunder Bumpers, and warm
weather.
What regs do they have nowadays for doing this? And what kind of
inspection does the car have to go through. Also, how do they feel about
modified cars, such as installing a V8 in a car that originally came with a
4 banger? How stick is the pollution test. Do they test the car by engine
year or car year?
