Replying to: darfer (Nov 20, 2007 11:39 am) Ouch. I would suggest you check the legality of selling a vehicle in Virginia without a compliance sticker. If thats the case a suggestion that legal action may follow might get some results from Honda USA.   Was your Pilot off lease from Honda or some other leasing company.

Replying to: imports4all (Nov 20, 2007 11:56 am) Similar to my earlier suggestion that TC extend the implimentation of CMVSS 114 from Sept 01/07 to some later date so they can provide clarity to importers.

Replying to: beaurocratsuck (Nov 20, 2007 12:00 pm) It was purchase directly from Honda's leasing division. How could I prove they sold it without the Compliance Sticker? they will likely blame it on the Dealer. I have asked the dealer to look into the other Hondas he has purchased from the same place and see if they also have missing Compliance stickers. May be a story here yet. I suspect selling a Vechicle without a compliance sticker is not illegal anywhere as the only need for them after the vehicle has been sold is to cross the boarder, no one else cares! Ironic thing is that it is a US Safety Compliance sticker, well hello, who cares, because it has to get inspected here in Canada and a new Canadian Compliance sticker will replace it. Go figure, anouther STUPID rule.

Replying to: darfer (Nov 20, 2007 9:07 am) have you thought about trading it in? will undoubtedly still take a bath but perhaps not so bad as an ebay sell? just a thought   BTW - when i brought my last vehicle up through sweetgrass, neither US or Canada customs even bothered to look at the vehicle. Didnt verify VIN & didnt check door sticker. That being said, it was in late october. Only person that looked at the label was crappy tire inspection kid.

Replying to: altaboy (Nov 20, 2007 12:06 pm) I spoke to one Dealer in Great Falls, His best trade in deal is $5,000 less than what we paid US, we would take a greater hit in the exchange as we bought it about 6 weeks ago when the CAD was lower, no matter how you look at this we have a huge hassle and a huge $ loss, thanks to Honda, who have forgotten about NAFTA. Funny thing is, our friend brought the same Pilot across 2 weeks before us and he said they did not check his vehicle for the Compliance Label either. Luck of the draw I guess. What are the chances of not having the Label and them checking? about the same as winning the lottery, maybe we should buy a ticket!! Replies to this message: altaboy (Nov 20, 2007 12:28 pm)
#2262 of 4504 Found something new by maluna Nov 20, 2007 (12:19 pm)
Hey guys, OK, I'm dropping the Highlander SUV idea and moving on to a passenger car. Avalon looks CLEAR on the RIV section. But then I find this. Check out link http://www.riv.ca/english/html/mod_inspect_requirements.html I know this little red 'NEW' as the bottom wasn't there the other day becuase I printed a copy. What do you make of this? and what does GVWR stand for? Geesh! Replies to this message: northernkiwi (Nov 20, 2007 2:03 pm)

Replying to: darfer (Nov 20, 2007 12:14 pm) Send email contact info to LRCUyahoo.com I am thinking of a possible way to help you out.   Was your dealer an Authorized Honda USA Dealer?

Replying to: bodble2 (Nov 20, 2007 10:02 am) Actually "friend" I am a US car dealer. One that has sold cars to Canadians, so I am profiting from this loophole. Even so, I recognize it for what it is. It is an exception to the way business is conducted normally.   Chances are, the Canadian Gov't will close this avenue, much like the US gov't did with the Gray Market cars.   The immobilizer standard is an effort to close the loophole. Immobilizers do not contribute to pulic safety or security at all. A professional car thief will simply tow the car away,and defeat the imobilizer at his convenience. An amateur will simply carjack you. The Canadian Gov't, by creating this immobilizer standard, that is different from prior standards is actively aiding the car companies,and the tax renenue of the Canadian gov't as well.

Replying to: carman23 (Nov 20, 2007 11:39 am) Again, NAFTA does not deal with purely domestic commerce. Unless you are an importer, buying a car is a purely doemestic concern.
