i have never had a problem with bringing cars in to Canada. Same old story have everything in order when you arrive at customs. We brought a Vette back not 3 weeks ago and drove directly to Canada customs and paid the taxes. I did not even bother stopping at the Buffalo side of the border.We have spent longer at the customs after a day of christmas shopping.

Yep, no problems with older cars. The new glitch is with new(er) cars. RIV now requires a recall letter from the manufacturer and many of them are not releasing these letters or charging between $250 and $500 for one. Also, very few '08's are admissible at this point in time because the manufacturers have not provided safety compliance data to RIV yet. Some speculate that this is an attempt by the manufacturers to stop the import of new vehicles into Canada and get around the currency exchange issues. Like others said, bringing old car in is no sweat!

Its not the US border guards that give you a hassle
its the Canadian goverment that want their pound of flesh at the border. It was easy for me at the border when I purchased an RV 2008 I saved 34000. canadian by buying it in tonawanda NY. Yes thats 34 thousand dollars. How long will it take you to save 34 000. big ones EH the Canadian dealers would not budge so I say f--k them. I will never purchase a big ticket items from canadian retailers untill those theiving bast--s lower threir price. Just follow the instructions from the imported vehicles people, then use a little perswasion on the dealer in the US and he will do all the paperwork for you. he then sends it to the border 3 days before you pick it up. Then you pay the taxes at he border and drive it home. And OH yes the Canadian dealers said to me that I woud get no warranty if I purchased it in the US Thats Bul---t I needed warranty on the RV and got it no problem.And dont forget to shop around before you buy. ![]() PJ |

Hey P.J. - Make sure you drop by the Canadian RV dealer with it! ![]() [/ QUOTE ] Thanks for the advise on dropping in on a canadian dealer I called the manufacture for their advise on what dealer in Canada would warrenty my Rv and the Company told me of 3 close to me for warranty . 3 days to service my rv on warranty.and they told me to send as many Canadians to buy their Rvs . I have had warranty with no problem. so remember do your homework and if you need help to purchase a Us vehicle i will help you just to PI--s off the Canadain thieving bast--ds.US will get all my business from now on. Oh yes and remember dont rely on the Canadian media to report the truth they are on the side of the Canadian thieving Bast--ds. PS further to my purchase of the RV I also now need a new scope for my 300 wincheser magnum (moose gun) because my young age now require a better scope so I compared the us price from bass pro $ 500.00 US 1100.00 Canadian guess where I am going to purchase it EH.I am normally very Canadian but hese days my rear end is a little sore so again I will say to you buy American they are more honest to their Consumers,Can you can tell I am pissed.EH have a great Chritmas PJ the DJ ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Thats why there sre several lawsuits against the American manufacturers. In my paticular case it's the Americans slowing things down at the border along with alot of other people standing in line. |

[/ QUOTE ] ok i followed the rules set by the Canadian goverment and had no problem importing my 2008 f0rd Vehicle to Canada it was less of a headache than buying it in Canada. remember I saved 34000. Canadiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan how much agravation would you endure for 34000. Canadian EH and besides the warranty issue ,if you are going to have problems for warranty from the manufacture you cam purchase private warranty from the dealer at a cost of 2000.00 canadian from a private insurance Co, so that would of left me with only a saving od 32000. canadian savings.not bad EH EH Ps Rick I am sorry I dont have time to spell check the wife has summened me. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
