Hey folks, This topic is for discussing legal ways of importing vehicles into Canada, and conversation about how to get laws changed. Posting suggestions of illegal methods really isn't a good idea, so those kinds of posts will be removed as we see them. Thanks! |

Replying to: volvomax (Nov 21, 2007 8:13 am) I'm not talking about a professional thief. The immobilizer is meant to stop the deadbeat kids, and the drug addicts, and the joyriders who commit the bulk of the car thefts, and who represent a threat to public safety. As for your take on the pricing issue, with all due respect, it sounds like you're just reading from the corporate spin manual. Yeah, it might affect residual, and used car values, but so what? My used car may be worth less on a trade-in, but if the price on the new one I'm buying is priced in line with US prices, I'll take that trade-off any day. As a consumer, I'll still come out ahead. It might hurt the used car dealer with stock-piled inventory, but I doubt that's the reason the manufacturers are playing dirty pool with the importation rules. But enough of this debate here -- it's getting way off-topic here. You're entitled to think whatever you want. I just don't agree with it.

Replying to: shellyh (Nov 21, 2007 9:41 am) I had just heard about the TC "holding" the files as well, but I must have got under the wire on that one. Good luck!

My dealership called me this morning to tell me that my 08 Civic is now admissible after Honda and RIV got the immobilizer issue resolved. I just tried calling RIV to confirm but after holding for a while, I had to go to work and havent had a chance to call again yet. Has anyone heard anything to this effect today yet?
