The policy will cover a specific vehicle, so you can arrange the insurance prior to departure if you've already lined up the automobile you are purchasing. If you are just going shopping and then find what you want to purchase, you can phone an ICBC broker and arrange the insurance by phone. The APV38 can then be faxed to you and used as insurance for the drive back to Vancouver. In addition to the APV 38 you must purchase a permit from the U.S. State that you will be driving in. The permit is required for each state that you travel through to return home. " By "permit" I assume she meant temp plates. I forgot to ask her if she meant that if I'm driving thru 2 or more states, I would need to get a permit for each state. Does anyone know the answer to this?

Just imported a 2007 mazda cx9. Getting no assistance from local dealer on installing DRL. Will be taking it to local Can Tire tomorrow but they are not sure they can do it because it's so "new". Anyone know of any DIY after-market relay/module/wiring for this vehicle? 2007 cx7 is similar and may work the same. Would hate to splice and dice the wiring just to pass federal inspection.

Replying to: gaut (Dec 12, 2007 3:51 pm) I've heard of at least two other members of CWB who got the same call today from RIV for vehicles of different makes and models. I didn't get the call yet but I suspect that they're making their way up the list, probably based on import date or something like that. It's beginning to look a bit like Christmas .... netdog |

From a dealer: " rebates will not be applicable on cross border Subaru sales after Jan 3rd, 2008." Also Hyundai will no longer allow cross-border sales.

Replying to: bodble2 (Dec 12, 2007 9:46 pm) In California the plate on the car you buy is OK for I think 30 days. Although I have driven back to BC with just the CA plate I'm not totally sure that is legal. To be safe you can get a three day WA state permit for $25 and according to the Oregon DMV site that permit would also be legal in Oregon. So for $25 and a trip to Blaine for the permit you ass is covered. Search in the WA DMV and Oregon DMV sites for details |

Replying to: gtxkarl1 (Dec 05, 2007 4:00 pm) They will not issue a Florida license if you do not surrender your Canadian license. Obtaining a license indicates establishing residence. If you merely surrender your existing license, that just excuses you from taking the driving exam. If you want to keep both licenses, you have to take an actual Florida driving exam.
