Replying to: dreyfus1 (Dec 01, 2007 8:06 pm) Regarding the proposed amendment to the Motor Vehicles Safety Regulations, I have read the December 1 gazetted proposals and compliment the Department on its response to importers' concerns whilst not infringing on legitimate interests of the manufacturers. The measure will benefit Canadians with lower vehicle prices. Reduced income to vehicle manufacturers are mainly a reduction of windfall profits resulting from US dollar depreciation. Those profits almost entirely flow offshore anyway. Thank you. Please proceed to register the amendments and give similar consideration to any further restrictions on imports that may emerge. |

Replying to: imports4all (Dec 01, 2007 10:20 am) I would like to know how BMW influenced Transport Canada to change the rules to accommodate them. I will file an Access to Information request with Transport Canada requesting all correspondence between officers of the department and BMW relating to recall clearance letters, letters of admissibility and changes to the list of admissible vehicles. It is the only way TC will listen to people. I encourage others to file complaints and ATIP requests with TC. It is only $5 and it will make the department scramble. Do a google search on Access to Information Canada and follow the steps. Let's put an end to this nonsense.

As the owner of a 10/08 RAV4 Sport without an immobilizer,I feel I may be one of the casualties of this battle with TC. Toyota has already indicated a third party unit can not be installed for "safety" reasons.The word safety can sometimes be abused as no one wants to question it. I still insist the TC and the RIV owe an exemption for telling me this vehicle was addmissable as it was purchased Oct 22 before the RIV list was changed. My local dealer has called three times now,first with $500 rebate,then $1000,and yesterday,$3500.Some credit must be given to forums such as this and carswithoutborders.com for bringing prices a little more inline.

Replying to: maluna (Dec 02, 2007 7:14 am) In my case, I bought my Sienna in Ohio as well and the dealer initially faxed me the MSO which I faxed to US Customs. When I picked up the vehicle, the dealer gave me an Ohio Certificate of Title like yours instead of the MSO but that was fine at customs. I have yet to register the vehicle but I know many others who've brought their vehicles in from Ohio with this Certificate of Title and that was fine to register it. Hope this helps... netdog |

Canadian GMC dealer just matched my usa quote on 2008 GMC 2500 HD duramax truck - and delivered it in 1 day. ( within $1,500 ) with all their ** incentives, 1.9% financing, and moving my US$ back to Cdn. I sent a email to Transport Canada saying ammendment great - as long as third party immobilizers are allowed. Keep the pressure on and again Thanks to all!!
