You are good to go. Just check to make sure the border will accept a fax. Not all will. You will also need insurance.

Nissan/Infiniti seems to be the only import brand thus far to offer any significant price reduction/rebates. Honda is only offering nominal amounts. Nothing from Toyota or Subaru that I'm aware of. Also relatively small amounts of cash credits from MB, Audi, and BMW, although the BMW salesman I spoke to intimated aside from the cash credit, the dealer would be much more aggressive with the negotiated discount.

for the 2008 Highlanders do you have to pay duty because they were made in Japan?

If the car was not made in North America (Canada, USA, Mexico), then you will have to pay duty.

Congratulations tri_biker!
You've had a very successful day.
Wondering if you could walk me through the paperwork sequence that happens after you've crossed in.... So you leave the border with your Highlander LTD 10/07 and a.... what? Is it called a form 1? Is this what they give you after you've paid all the dues? Obviously there is something before the Form 2. You take this Form 1 into the RIV and what exactly else do you take in hand for them?
 
Thanking you in advance for your reply,
 
Maluna

Another article here at --> www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/278716
 
"The confusion arises from the fact that not all cars and models can be equipped with the anti-theft device."
 
If this statement is true then how are the manufacturers getting around this to get these same inadmissible vehicles onto their canadian dealers' lots? Or is there a double-standard when it comes to admissibility? Something still stinks here...

The CBC program last night was awsome sergelbergeron!
Thanks SO MUCH for all the time & work you and Mr. Lamb, and the many others have done to push this forward. I was absolutely amazed watching the momentum pick up on this forum as it jumped into other media venues. This is a very passionate and determined group an I appreciate being able to share the burden with fellow Canadians. Thanks.
...And we even have a new website to boot! Wow

I put the link in DIGG under business and finance,
The reporters are not technically adept and are simply relaying what they pick up from conversations with Transport Canada/RIV and the manufacturers. Transport Canada is totally reliant on the manufacturers for technical information, the manufacturers do not give it to TC (yes Veronica this is legal and there is a Santa Claus). And to cap it all off it cannot be done because the manufacturers say it cannot be done. Are we going around in circles yet.
There is only one answer to this problem and it is " Transport Canada must rewrite CMVSS114 so that FMVSS114 is in compliance." Prior to Sept 1 2007 CMVSS114 accepted both FMVSS114 and the European standards. After Sept 1 2007 Transport Canada introduced their not tariff trade barrier and added $3k to $30k to the cost of a new car for every Canadian purchaser. Nice work if you can get it and you can get it if you lobby Canada's new Gov't.
