There are a number of Forums members who are own Sonatas. Why don't you stop by the Hyundai Sonata discussion and ask them about the DRLs?

When I picked up the car in the U.S. I was very surprised to see bilingual warning stickers on the visors which was the only thing that i would have added but they where there so the car needed absolutly nothing done, passed with flying colors!
My insurance company sold me a policy as soon i gave them the vin# no problem.
I am very happy with this purchase, the deals available in the U.S. on american built subarus are incredible. when i went to the local Subaru dealer for a roof rack and told him what i paided for the tribeca he was in disbelief of the $17,000.00 cnd price difference he quoted me.

Wow, it almost seems as though it would be better to just buy the car in Canada.
 
I was also considering a BMW 318ti. The price is $5000.
 
Wt do you think it would end up costing me in total after I'm done with all of the greddy Canadian hands?

My question is the other way around, but I am not able to find a thread for it so I hope someone can help me.
I am not sure if I should bring my Toyota with me when I move to the US. Will I have any disadvantage selling my car because it was purchased in Canada? Thanks a lot.

Two issues:
 
1) If you plan to drive the car until the wheels fall off and the vehicle will be salvaged, then bring it on over.
 
2) If you plan to sell it in the US while it has some significant value, you should sell it in Canada as the vehicle will be considered to be TMU - "True Mileage Unknown" and will bring far less money than it is worth.
 
I work for a large corporation which often relocates people on either side of the US/Canada border. Generally, people sell the car before heading across the border.

Thanks a lot jlawrence01! No my Echo is pretty new so I was hoping to sell it after my one year assignment instead of shipping it back. I am glad I find out about the TMU now. Do they just ignore the mileage reading?

Selling delicately used US car in Canada by crikey

My brother-in-law wants to buy my Florida-driven, US-spec 2003 Infiniti FX35 AWD with 38K miles or 60,800 kms, which I bought brand-new. I can drive the car up into Canada without any issues and leave it with him. He is willing to pay the taxes/fees required at registration. The FX35 will require retrofitting of the daytime running lights.
 
What should we expect to expedite the transaction, in terms of paperwork and taxes/fees?

How did you get insurance in Ontario?
 
RBC insurance is telling me that they don't cover this type of activity.
