Trips: Buyers tend to make one trip only, especially for new cars. First ensure you are comfortable with the credibility of the seller. Also suggest that you receive written confirmation of the features, miles, preps... Just to ensure there is no misunderstanding. The magnitude of the risk on a new car is around $1,000 (i.e. a feature not provided, an unknown cost, a scratch). Two trips, or one 72 hour trip, justs eats into the cost savings. And you will have already sunk travel costs. Better: one trip, lots of knowledge before, negotiate hard if there is a surprise, take the risk. |

Replying to: knsgee (Jun 06, 2006 6:55 pm) I was wondering if you got an answer to your question as I am trying to do the same thing. I want to buy a used car out of Texas and drive it back but I like you cannot get the tags to drive it back?

Has anyone bought a used car in the USA and figured out how to get plates so that you can drive it back to Canada?

Replying to: valh4r (Jun 17, 2006 5:40 am) Did you in fact import the nissan pathfinder? What happended with the warranty. I am in the process of purchasing a nissan from Montana and they are saying that the warranty of the vehicle must be registered in the USA for 6 months, then transfered. Let me know what you found, Keri |

Hello everyone, I'm considering purchase a BMW Z3 on Ebay. It is located in Florida, and I am in Toronto (Canada). If I drive over to Florida and purchase it, and then proceed to drive it back home, what do I need? Do I have to bring my current plates? Are their fees/taxes at the border? I also wanted to know if it would be possible to have the seller bring it over the border to me, and then I would take it from there. Would this help me to circumvent any duties/taxes? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
