Hi,
  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?

Go to the state department of motor vehicle (DMV) web site to see what is required for temporary plates.
Also,if you have a decent history with your insurer, it should not be a problem.
A friend recently purchased a couple of used vehicles (1 private, 1 dealer)on different ocassions without any problems.

I do not understand? how do you get the original title with your name on it to the customs folks 72 hours in advance. Do you not require this with you to drive the car? And does it not have to go to the Canada Customs folks rather than the US customs?

The Canadians will not allow you to import the car until you have first received clearance from the Americans to export it. You need the appropriate paperwork from the US first.

Just reading your message,
 
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

Did you have any problems with the Federal inspection or provincial inspection/. Did nyou have to modify the vehicle at all?. Has your insurance company insured the vehicle. Stavros1

Buying a car on Ebay by seandamien

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!
