Question for you all,

I heard that you can no longer ship any car that has more than 100,000 miles on it to the USVI. Anyone know if this is true or not?

Why would anyone care how many miles are on it? This is news to me....

And even if it were true you could buy an instrument cluster for your car via ebay with less than 100k on it.
Just make sure it has more miles on it than what the title says.

I'm thinking maybe the VI doesn't want the older cars shipped in because they will wind up junk on the side of the road or in the landfill. Just a thought. I don't really have any idea.

That makes sense, Juanita...but most of the abandoned junk cars here have less than 50,000 miles on them! Haha!

I like HeepaJeep's idea!!
