Default Re: Sell Canadian Car in US?

Arizona will title a car for a Snowbird. I did this with my 66 W30 after I showed it at Macan in 2013. I shipped the car to Scottsdale for the Winter and when I consigned it to Mecum the following July I applied and got a AZ tile registered at a friends address. When I consigned my Chrysler 300F to Mecum I imported it into the US for the purpose of sale. It did not sell and I brought it home. I should have gotten a re-entry number when I brought it back across the border because when I sold it a month later it had to be imported again. Do not under any circumstances. bring a car in with the purpose of selling it and skip the import process, you will regret it and it could cost you more than you care to deal with.
You must always heave the car consigned to a US business or friend in the US.
Legendary likely has a US business licence and can freely move cars and still abide by the rules. The Us import regulators can assess a fine up to $5000.00 if a foreigner sells a car they brought in and later sold it if they feel it was specifically brought in to sell.
Even under the Arizona Snowbird loophole my car had to be imported and presented at an Arizona port of entry (airport)for inspection. Us customs can and will insist a car be presented at a border crossing for proper import.
I used Livingston International for three imports in 2013 and they did a great job.

And RCC is correct if you are a snowbird and decide to sell the 1999 Taurus you brought down as your winter car 8 years ago and want to sell it,
it can be done. Always remember the term "passage of time".

Good luck, follow procedures and don't be afraid, its an easy process when all the "I" are dotted and "T" are crossed.
