RE: 🧽 Washing The Tuk-Tuk 🛺 & A Surprise Visit From Nutsara 👶
I had to see if I could buy a tuk tuk here in Texas. It turns out there is a dealer who can ship one and help make it street legal. But, they cost as much as a used Prius. Tough call.

There is a company in Texas, I believed owned by Indian immigrants, and they have two or three tuk-tuks they rent out for weddings, but I don't think anything is for sale. There is a Piaggio Ape dealer in northern Mexico, and I once contacted them to see if it would be possible to export one.
It is possible, the unit must be first shipped without the engine to be used as decorative art for a store front or something, and then the engine is sent a few weeks after. Getting the VIN recognized and the tuk-tuk plated I assume would be possible but difficult, but like you said, after two separate import fees, the price is already more than a decent used car, such a shame the USA doesn't allow cool cars and motos the rest of the world gets. The Toyota Hilux is an indestructible pickup truck we're not allowed to have either.
My daily driver is a Honda scooter. Around here, there aren't many scooter riders.
