They told me that there are no special requirement as the vehicle will be classified as an antique. (Bus excepted) You will pay GST at the border and PST when you register the vehicle. Hope this helps. |

Replying to: filion (Jul 12, 2006 1:45 pm) I am looking to buy a brand new Tribeca in NY state in about 2 weeks. As you recently imported a new 06 Tribeca from US, I would like to ask some details: 1.Were any modifications required to bring it in compliance with CMVSS (I believe none are required). 2.Did you have to pay duty, since the car was manufactured in USA? 3. I believe no taxes are due in NY if you don't register or title the vehicle there. I intend to get an interstate in-transit permit in NY and drive it to Canada. Did you have any issues in this regard (like having to pay NY tax)? 4.Also, were the MSO and the bill of sale enough to clear US customs (i intend to buy it cash so no liens, etc.)? 5. I couldn't find the compliance label on the vehicle. Did you need a letter of compliance from SoA or I needed to look more carefully to find it? I'd really appreciate if you have any other info on any troubles you ran into when you imported the Tribeca. Best regards

Replying to: cdn_24 (Aug 18, 2006 11:08 am) I am in Toronto, and will be flying down there to pick it up, and then drive it back. Can someone please explain to me what needs to be done before I go into the USA (ie. do I need to inform the government that I am doing this for paperwork reasons and such?). Then, when I pick up the car and drive it back over, what do I have to present them with at the border? Can someone break down what fees I am going to have to pay. Just at least give a rough estimate. The Z3 has 60000 Miles and is prices at $12,000 US. Please just a rough idea of what I am going to be paying here in total to the Canadian government. And lastly, does the car need any work to comply with Canadian laws? Will the car require DRLS, or will it already have? Please help me with all of the above questions because I am leaving soon to get this car and I would really like to be prepared. Thank you!

I have a Porsche that I purchased from a non authorised dealer here in Canada. Porsche here will not honour the warranty (2005 Model Year) nor will they even service it. I want to trade-in the vehicle to a US dealer for a collector car (63 Vette). Do I pay taxes based on the selling price of the Vette or the difference payed after the trade-in allowance. Any help would be appreciated.

Replying to: wie1 (Aug 22, 2006 2:44 pm) Not really certain about this since we are talking about a Porsche, but CarMax can price out your vehicle and buy it from you if you agree to their offer. But I'm really not sure if they take Porsches. It's a good way to gauge whether the trade-in value being offered accurately reflects wholesale market value. Do I pay taxes based on the selling price of the Vette or the difference payed after the trade-in allowance. In the US, taxes are paid on the difference between the selling price of the vehicle and the trade-in. The idea is that sales taxes have already been paid on the trade-in when it was initially purchased and cannot be taxed again. |
