Has anyone heard if Infiniti will honour the warranty in Canada if the vehicle is purchased in U.S. ?

Yes. Warranty applies with U.S. warranty limits. Four years/60,000 miles bumper to bumper and six years/70,000 miles on the powertrain.
 
You can also call Infiniti Canada to confirm: 1-800-387-0122

Parking your new vehicle on your driveway is not a suggestion. Its a law as told to me by BCAA agent. You just cannot drive your new vehicle without any plate before inspection day. Because nobody knows its going to pass or meet canadian standards or technically its safe for canadian roads. I know all new cars are ok and there is no problem with them. But thats what the law says. I will strongly recommend not to drive until inspection day comes. I know this sucks but dont have any other option yet

I was told at the border and by the RIV that an imported car is not to have any plate at all until the requirements for registration are completed. As long as the car is insured and the owner is identified it can be driven. I have no idea about how they handle parking tickets. The rules for temp plates in Ontario are at http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/vehicle/temp.htm and these are for the case if you buy a car that had been licensed in Ontario. You get a temp sticker that lets you drive it after the previous owner has removed his plates and until you have completed the inspections. Cars from outside Canada would not be in this category. US temporary plates are nice to have because they permit identification. States have to recognize each other's plates but there is no such recognition outside the US for such a plate. The key is demonstrating ownership and insurance.

Is it always necessary to have the speedo changed from miles to kilometers before it can be imported into Canada.

Hiya,
 
So I have been chatting to some wonderful people on here helping me
 
2 days ago my dad bought a new Land Rover LR2 from a mercedes/land drover dealer in the states. (Absolutly no problems with bringing it over the border)
 
Land Rover in Canada wanted to charge him $1000CDN. to turn on the DRL....................Land Rover in the states did it for FREE! They said it is just a switch on the car!!!!!
 
He then asked them about the bumpers for a Mercedes to bring it into Canada. They laughed and told him, there is absolutly no diffrence AT ALL! They said if someone is doing this, they are ripping you off up there.
 
He said I will double check for us, he then told us he talked to dealers in Canada and the US and nobody, nobody had ever heard of such a thing! He told him, do you think Mercedes is making two types of bumpers for different countries, they are all the same.
 
Can you beleive the cheek of these Canadian dealers
 
I am definatly going thru with this and get the dealer in the US to chat with Mercedes up here if they try and charge me for this!
 
God, this makes me angry
 
Now everyone off to the States to buy a car

About the Running Lights....
 
I had inquired with Canadian Tire about running lights. They can sell you a device to install on a vehicle that does not have DRL's for conversion to a DRL system. It is not expensive at all. So if any one out there gets another ridiculous quote from a dealer to flip a switch or reprogram a computer feature, you might want to find out if this device from Canadian Tire can be installed in your particular vehicle. It must just be a relay that connects to the "Run" contact of your ignition switch and the supply line to the headlights, so it should be a universal fit for any vehicle.

Thank you to everyone that has replied. Much appreciated.
 
I am going thru Buffalo / Lewiston so I am coming back on the Monday because the US is only open there Mon thru Friday.
I just purchased a 2007 Honda S2000 (with both new front and rear spoilers ) for 26K with 5300 Miles on it. The car was purchased and traded in South Carolina Honda Dealer.
A new 2008 one is 53K here !!!
I can't believe there are people still buying cars in Canada !!??
 
When I return next week I will let you know how it went.
 
Thanks again
Paul
