I wouldn't worry about any of this, I you have the money, you can have any of the newer desirable cars. Just take money and time.

The irony is that any car over 25 is already free of EPA regs. Changing that to 15 years would cause all sorts of smog reg changes. Considering the income from smog failures and testing, I don't see that happening.

My dad and I once researched bringing a Honda NSX type R over as he wanted a fun car while living in London. All told it would have been about 7k delivered to Tahoe, all import duties and certs included. Didn't as he couldn't find a decent left hand drive car at a decent price.
