| Just wnet to CT to get Form 2 completed. Seems that the DRL can be "turned off" and this switch has to be disabled. Anyone out there know how to do this or where to get it done. Thanks | |

Replying to: tomcx9 (Dec 12, 2007 10:39 pm) I had the same problem. Obviously the dealer is P__ssd Off, but I got mine done at Canadian Tire, for $180. Check around Im sure they can do it, ou vehicle is a 2008 that I imported using link title , I saved about $11,000 or so after mods, DRL, etc. |

I’m just starting to collect the information how to go about importing a car to Ontario. I’ve read tons of posts on this forum, but as usual everyone’s situation is different. And so it’s mine. In the next few months I’ll be moving back to Canada from … Switzerland. I’m planning to make a stopover in NJ (visiting family), buy a minivan there and drive to Ontario. I’d like to get either a Nissan Quest or a Toyota Sienna (fully loaded latest models). My question is; would my Swiss residency be a problem or rather a help in purchasing a car in NJ (or neighbor states).? I do have both Swiss and Ontario driver licenses. How long does it take from the time I make my deposit to the actual delivery of the car (I need to plan the flight in the right time)? Can I make pay for a car using bank transfer directly to the dealer account? I do not think that I can use my Swiss insurance in North America. I’ve read that NY issues temp plates and one can get temporary insurance as well. Does anyone know about getting temp plates and insurance in NJ? Have to add that my wife used to live in NJ, and still has, expired now, NJ driver license – would that help? Cheers for any help.

Congratulations to those who've received a phone call from the RIV in anticipation of the (now) likely passing of the proposed amendment to CMVSS114. Things are looking up. To the rest of us who have yet to receive this call check your Form 1; if the customs agent didn't take down your contact info then you may never get this phone call from the RIV. Such was the case with my Form 1 so I called RIV to have them update my file with my contact info. The agent then informed me that they did not have a record of my recall letter on file, despite the fact that I'd presented it to them in person on Novemeber 19th. Anyways, I've now faxed off my recall letter and just waitin' for my phone call .... So the lesson of the day (at my expense) is: This might be a good time to check with the RIV to make sure they have everything they need on file so that there are no unexpected delays in releasing your Form2 once the RIV gets the green light some time soon (hopefully). Good luck. netdog

Replying to: ronny1 (Dec 12, 2007 4:57 pm) It's a 2002 SL500. All the work was performed at Garden Motorcars in Burlington - I chatted with my contact there yesterday, and he has no problem doing the work, as they appreciate the business. Remember that whatever work the dealer quotes you to be done has been mandated by MB-Cda. He simply provides the service. |
