Catalytic Converter
I purchased a Mazda 2 2008 (gas, not diesel) and would like to import it to the USA. I need to know if it has a catalytic converter and if it will meet the EPA standards.

Where are you at?
Does the car run on Unleaded Gas? |
I am currently in Guatemala. The car does run on Unleaded Gas. It is the 1.5L model, I am curious why the USA hasn't imported these smaller cars previously?
|
Ford and Mazda are supposed to be bringing it in next year.
As for the Catalytic converter, if you run unleaded gas it should have 1, but I think you could ask at your local Mazda Dealership also. |
I need a letter from the manufacturer's US
representative declaring that the specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) was manufactured to meet EPA & DOT standards. Any idea where I might find a US representative that can write this letter for me ? |
You might try going to Mazda USA http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/cont....action?bhcp=1

You will have to specify what state it will be registered in; California cars have different emission control systems (and norms) from anywhere else.
You could also have it emission tested and certified by a Mazda dealer in Guatemala before starting the red tape of US importing/registration, because it would a bummer if it didn't meet US norms and you had to unload it after arrival. |
