If you want to keep your vehicle under the care of Nissan techs then that is your option..I am sure they would love to get the work! Take care |

Replying to: bcneedatruck (Mar 25, 2008 6:49 pm) As far as my research goes, I don't believe you can import any vehicle if you are financing it. (see riv.ca) When you finance it through the dealership, you are not given the title. The dealer registers the car for you and reports a lien. The lender keeps the title until all payments are made. If you wanted to take advantage of GMC's 0% financing, you need to be a well qualified buyer, which means having US Credit. Canadian credit does NOT transfer over. Some dealerships will do the extra leg work of looking up your Canadian credit and use that to give you a good rate, but that's a rarity and I wouldn't count on it. The reason that 'having the title in-hand matters', is you need to present it + Bill of Sale and Registration to US Customs, before you bring the car across the border. The information gets stamped, and then the Cdn side will deal with it. I have read on US Customs websites that if there is a lien on the car (ie. you financing it), then you could get written permission from the lender to export the car..... but I haven't heard of anyone being able to do this. If you really need to finance the car, I suggest that you get a car/bank loan in Canada, and wire those funds to the dealer in the US (after proving you 'live' in the US of course)... Then you will have the title and own your car, and be able to pay your lender back.

Replying to: blondebrit (Mar 22, 2008 1:24 pm) Hit the jackpot. I have found a American fella today when I went to see a Mercedes in Toronto. He can get ANY........ANY car you want new or used from the USA. He takes care of everything, I mean everyting for a fee. (not bad either). You just pay him a deposit to go look, he goes personally down to the States to look at the cars, he also has freinds in most major southern states looking for him. I will let you know what happens in the next few weeks, but the hunt is on. He is heading down to the US next week to go find my Mercedes CLK500 or CLK55. I know there will still be work done on the car when it gets here, but wouldn't you rather have someone else doing all the leg work for you and personally finding you the car you want? and taking care of all paperwork, work etc. you just pay him those fees. He is up front and will show you all bills to let you know he is not ripping you off. email me if you want his info if your in the GTA. Blondebrit

Replying to: jmlleung (Mar 27, 2008 5:08 am) Sure I will pass it on. He also does financing or leasing for US cars in Canada. So pick your car and you don't have to put the whole lump sum down for the car
