On the East coast, there are brokers who will find you a car (new or used), arrange shipment, and take care of the US conversions/registrations. Some will even find financing! They charge according to the price of the car, and you still save $2000-$5000 off the price of a $20,000 car! I personally havn't done this. But I have several friends who have. They suggest you get references from a broker before dealing with them. If they won't give references, then don't deal with them.
