A women named Diane from TC returned my call this morning. She said there will be no press conference or imminent decision. She said if I bought a car manufactured After Sept 01 that was inadmissible it would not be given amnesty and to do so would have Transport Canada break their own laws. She said I could however get a letter of compliance from Toyota. When she became aware in our discussion that I was fully informed with copies of the amnesty letter and October VAFUS she told me to fax copies of the info and my story to TC I'll keep everbody posted but it doesn't look good to me for a resolution anytime soon. |

Replying to: mccreeper (Nov 22, 2007 9:04 am) I agree, I would be happy to spend an extra $4,000-$5,000 and by a car in Canada. The reality is I'm not retarded and will not spend an extra >$10,000 just to line the pockets of a wealthy Canadian car dealer. Get a grip loser. My wife and I both earn over $100k and could easily afford to by a new car here but we're not stupid. The money I save on buying a car in the US can go towards my sons education, although that's not necessary as we max out his RESP each year. No, maybe we'll just take a nice vacation to Florida or California with the money we save. Get a grip on things pal.

Replying to: mccreeper (Nov 22, 2007 9:04 am) There were 25,000 imports in Oct..... double that of Oct. 06. Thats 25,000 people that apparently don't have the infinate wisdom you have. "so for a little short term gain you are screwing us with long term pain" Nope, it's people like yourself that use the Canadian socialist system to the point of abuse that screw us all. "as all of you dont have the cash saved up to go risk it in the states. 98 percent of you will use borrowed money and call it cash" Ahhh! Finally, I see where you are coming from............ you are jealous of those who choose to work harder / smarter than you to get ahead. And by the way, some of us do have the cash to pay for a new luxury vehicle. Don't worry, I am sure the decrease in value for Canadian market cars won't affect your prize Plymouth K-Car. |

| My humble opinion is that we are giving Mr. McCreeper way to much attention ... I look forward to more valued and helpful information with respect to importing vehicles | |

Replying to: mottie (Nov 12, 2007 4:53 pm) I would ask this because the Transport Canada website identifies that " as part of the RIV inspection the IMPORTER will be required to supply documentation to prove that the vehicle came with a factory installed system that complies with CMVSS 114 OR that a recognized aftermarket system that meets the intent of CMVSS 114, has been installed." CMVSS 114 was introduced in 2005 to comply with the National Standard of Canada ULC S338/98. Go to the ICBC web site and you will see that there are four (4) after market systems that they (IBC) recognize as meeting the standard. RIV simply CANNOT be told by Toyota how to interperate Transport Canada Regulations. If Toyota won't provide you with a letter of compliance then get your importer to write one based on it being on your equipment list/invoice or get one of the 4 approved aftermarket devises installed with a letter from the installer stating same.

Replying to: rodm1 (Nov 22, 2007 2:13 pm) That being said, everyone who has imported or tried to import their vehicles using the rules in place at the time of purchase MUST bang their MPs over the head with it until they get it and they communicate same in no uncertain terms to Cannon. I've now demanded a face-to-face meeting with my MP. |

Replying to: hammatime (Nov 22, 2007 2:27 pm) "ADMISSIBLE VEHICLES: A vehicle manufactured after September 1, 2007 (may be a 2007 or a 2008 model) is ADMISSIBLE if: 1) The vehicle is listed in the "ADMISSIBLE" column of the List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States. This means that it is manufacturer-equipped (standard) with an electronic immobilization system that meets the requirements of CMVSS 114. 2) The vehicle is listed in the "ADMISSIBLE" column of the List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States but is followed by "~" and/or "(see notes)". This means that the vehicle does not come standard with an electronic immobilization system that meets the requirements of CMVSS 114, but either: a. An electronic immobilization system that meets the requirements of CMVSS 114 is available as a manufacturer option. In this case, it must be factory-installed; it is NOT possible to install the system after market, because the manufacturer will not be able to ensure that it complies with CMVSS 114. When an electronic immobilization system that meets the requirements of CMVSS 114 is available as a manufacturer option, the importer must provide a letter from the manufacturer stating that the vehicle meets the CMVSS 114. Moral of the story: If you do have "see notes" section you need letter. & if you don't have "see notes" section. YOU JUST DO NOT NEED LETTER. call RIV yourself. |
