Exotic Motorsports of Oklahoma is selling the brightly-colored Jimny. They claim the vehicle is road-legal based on Title 42 in Oklahoma law, which facilitates a legal status for certain items. This might include vehicles like this very recent model year Jimny.
However, Federal Importation Law of 1998 prohibits bringing non-conforming vehicles that are less than 25 years old to the US. The Drive highlighted that this situation presents "questionable legality" regarding how the Jimny was allowed title documentation in Oklahoma.
Carscoops referenced a similar incident involving right-hand-drive Holdens in Tennessee, where state authorities decreed such vehicles should not be titled against federal guidelines. This previous case hints at potential complications for the Jimny's future in Oklahoma.
The Suzuki Jimny has continuously attracted fans due to its compact size and robust off-road capability despite only offering 100 horsepower. But as prospects consider this tempting deal by Exotic Motorsports of Oklahoma, they must weigh possible consequences against their enthusiasm for owning such an eye-catching vehicle.
