Talk:Grey import vehicle

message: Shouldn't there be a separate article for Japanese Used Car Exporting industry? It seems this article stretches its scope. Perhaps link to it a sub article on Japanese Car Exports? Lostintraslation (talk) 11:43, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The article states "In the European Union, competition law attempts to prevent grey imports from other EU countries". Does it? I thought competition law did exactly the opposite, and the text following seems to support this. Notinasnaid 11:42, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Can someone cite the specific laws which the aritcle claims Mercedes-Benz of America lobbied for in the 1980's?
It must be in:
Automotive News articles on the grey market in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988
AutoWeek  for above years
Files of Shutler and Gherardi law firm in DC
Also CFR  (Code of Federal Regulations)  dealing with 'grey market' vehicles.  They also had public comment sections,  and also US EPA interpretations.
Also see  Anderson Shipping vs. EPA   US District Court of Appeals Atlanta and  Washington DC circuits.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.153.148.252 (talk) 01:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

message: A tether anchorage is a threaded slot, built into the car's frame at the time of manufacture.  It cannot be added at a later date since it normally needs to be stress tested. A tether anchor is the threaded cylinder and hook which screw into the tether anchorage and to which a child's car seat can be attached.  
When cars are imported into Canada from the US, they usually need to have a tether anchor installed, not a tether anchorage.  In fact, most cars sold in the US actually have a tether anchorage, although it may not be visible.  Rather than construct two separate car frames, one for the US market, and one for the Canadian market, most car manufacturers use a common frame, with a built in tether anchorage for both markets.  
When a new car is sold in Canada, the tether anchor is usually already installed in the tether anchorage and can be seen on the shelf above the rear seat.  The same car, when sold in the US, usually does not have the tether anchor installed, but the anchorage is still present in the car frame, under the shelf above the rear seat.  It may not be visible however, either covered by a plastic cap, or simply covered by the shelf.  The manufacturers can provide the tether anchor, and installation involves either removing the cap or punching a hole through the shelf, and screwing the tether anchor into the tether anchorage.
On a US car, the tether anchorage can sometimes be located by looking at the underside of the shelf, above the rear seat, by way of the car's trunk.  Steggall  14:33, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

message: This article needed a slight adjustment to its name, from Grey import vehicles to Grey import vehicle. Per WP:SINGULAR, articles are to be named in the singular unless the subject noun is always plural (e.g. "scissors" or "pants"). I've gone ahead and done the move, with appropriate fixes for double-redirects. —Scheinwerfermann T·C14:43, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

message: "As of 2007 the number of cars being Imported into the Republic of Ireland from both Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom is at an all-time high due to crippling motor taxation in the Republic"
True, but they are often not legal imports, as one would have to pay VRT plus motor tax if one was to import from outside the State. Hence why the Border counties (especially Donegal with its proximity to Derry) are full of cars whose tax discs indicate the owner is paying tax to the British Queen.

message: Re :- "The synonymous term parallel import is sometimes substituted."
A parallel import is a vehicle brought into it's new resident country which meets the standards of a vehicle brought in through the official distrubutor channels - usually treated as like-for-like. A grey import is not made for the market it has been moved into and does not meet the same standards - they are usually less desirable due to lack of readily available parts. These terms are not synonymous.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.203.43.192 (talk) 17:18, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

message: A recent change related to the European Union was reverted by a robot which detected its "inadequately referenced, poorly written additions".
In fact, the group of changes does contain two main parts:
* grouping into a single section several EU countries, each one member of a single market offering free movement of goods
* describing the role of that European Union, offering free movement of goods
That change can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grey_import_vehicle&diff=988184193&oldid=988128833
When I do not question the reliability of the robot, I was just wondering if the EU deserve to have its own section in this page.
After all, the EU is not the first world maker for new passenger car registrations, because the first market is China with 23,185,905 new cars registered in 2018 (29.4% of the world market) while the EU has only 15,158,874 new cars registered in 2018 (19.2% of the world market) Moreover, if the Brexit is also taken into account, the EU could even have less cars than the US which has 13,901,586 new cars registered in 2018 (17.6% of the world market). https://www.acea.be/uploads/statistic_documents/Economic_and_Market_Report_full-year_2018.pdf  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.136.216.31 (talk) 20:07, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
