Southern Ontario is home to a HUGE number of car enthusiasts as well as shops like Legendary, the Guild, Fawcett's (Whitby) etc, so I have to ask, what was your reasoning behind/expected benefit of crossing an international border to hopefully sell your car in the States?

I am not trying to kick anyone while they are down and I do hope you get your issues resolved but I have never had an issue selling a car/finding a buyer in the GTA.

I've always said it; " dealers are stealers". Too many shysters in that business.

Will update in 24/48hrs. I'm supposed to receive the package (cheque and T shirt) today.

Thanks John

Just an FYI on international shipping, even on "overnight" packages. I just had a headlight vacuum pod come from a rebuilder in New Brunswick Canada, straight north and east of me in NJ. It went via USPS. It took a week because it had to go to a centralized US Customs hub in Cleveland, Ohio. I just sent back the old vacuum pod as a core and it is taking an equally circuitous route back.

And as for federal law enforcement getting involved, the U.S Attorneys' Offices have prosecutorial guidelines that are usually in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions as a minimum, before they will look at a case. As a result, the federal law enforcement agencies really can't do anything to investigate incidents such as these, however common they are, sadly.

go get your car

WELL, after not getting anywhere with USPS, and WHY a "package" just outside of Detroit, would go through Chicago and then BEDFORD is beyond me. And why would a USPS spokesperson on the phone say that "a package going from Detroit will cross over to Windsor and NOT head to IL" is beyond me.

And not getting any updates on the USPS site from Friday till just now, IDK.

BUT IT DID WORK OUT FOR THE BEST AND THE "PACKAGE" OF A CASHIERS CHEQUE AND T SHIRT WAS JUST DELIVERED.

THANK YOU to all who give their thoughts and opinions, all were appreciated.

John

congrats, you must have been sitting on pins and needles...

Happy for the good news, but don't count your chicks 'til about 5 days after the check clears! "Cashiers checks" are easily faked nowadays.

Good luck!

Take that check directly to your bank tomorrow and have them call the source and confirm the funds are there and put a hold on them to fund the check.
Trust no one until the money is in your bank.

YES, going to the bank, already set up a meeting to do this. NOT sending the ownership till the BANK know the funds are there and no issues, then it will move.
