i have herd so many stories about some restriction on importing vehicles to sl. and i need help from someone who knows about those custom ruels to make sure what is legal and what is not!

is it true that cars with engine capacity larger than 3000CC is prohibited to import?

and is there a restriction depends on the "year of manufactured" of the car?


thanks in advance!
