Land Rover purchase GUIDE

Two options for investing in a land rover

At Phoenix Restorations, we know importing a classic Defender can feel complex. That’s why we offer two clear buying options so you can choose what works best for you.

OPtion 1 : You handle the import

We ship from Turkey, and you take care of U.S. import.

This is ideal for experienced buyers or those working with a trusted import professional. Once the vehicle ships from Istanbul, you manage the U.S. import process—with our support as needed.

We can connect you with vetted U.S. customs brokers who can handle everything for you, including filing the necessary DOT and EPA forms.

✅ Pros:

Lower vehicle price (save 15–20%)
Simplified export process
Expert import support available

❌ Cons:

Slightly more hands-on
Customs clearance may take 1–2 weeks
You must manage DOT/EPA paperwork or hire someone to do it

Best for: Buyers looking to save and comfortable managing the import process.

option 2: we import and sell from the u.s.

We handle everything and sell the car ready-to-drive from Miami.

We manage the full import process, title the vehicle in Florida under our U.S. company, and sell it fully compliant and registered. Just sign and drive.

✅ Pros:

Hassle-free experience
Florida title + U.S. registration
Maximum buyer confidence
No paperwork on your end

❌ Cons:

Higher price due to taxes, fees, and compliance work
Vehicle must clear U.S. customs before it’s listed

Best for: Buyers who want a worry-free, fully U.S.-titled Defender.
