Tariffs on Old Cars Now a Reality

[turbo69bird]

When I bought my boat in Canada years ago mate 2006 or so. The guy was selling it because he bought a boat and brought it into Canada and lied about what he paid. This boat was about $350k at the time. They confiscated it and somehow found out what was paid. He was selling my boat to get the money to pay the fines to get it out of impound.
Around the same time my buddy sold a turbocharged capri (mustang) to a guy in Canada who also lied and somehow they found the info on what was paid. Also confiscated. Heard it Took 2 years to release that car. And big fines. That’s unrelated to tariffs but what I’m showing is Canada is very serious about collecting thier taxes to balance their budget.

I don't see this thread headed in a positive direction. Maybe a good time for all to put this to bed.

I removed turbo69bird inappropriate post. Unfortunately those quoting and responding to turbo69bird still show his offensive comment. I would like to remove them but wanted to let you know.

Lets move back to the original topic.

What was inappropriate ? 51st state? That’s an actual quote from a president of the US, Second it was in jest. I saw nothing inappropriate about it unless someone is super
uptight.
I was a moderator on a car forum
For many years Am I missing something?

I’ll be honest I’m shocked to come back in here and see it called inappropriate.

Give it a rest!!

According to a news article today the car is now in Winnipeg with the owner. He engaged a brokerage firm and they got it sorted out.

Glad to hear this was resolved. Most of my cars were imported by me from the US, always submitted the initial paperwork myself. But wouldn't even think about crossing without a Customs Broker, fee is small and vehicle value has no bearing on broker fees. Flat rate per transaction IIRC. Bet more than a few of us up here lost some sleep over this!

That is the best thing that could of happened. Glad to see the owner looked after.
