Most of what you need can be found here.. www.RIV.ca Take care and best of luck with your purchases. |

Replying to: acurapm (Mar 24, 2008 7:21 pm) Its illegal for a Canadian Citizen to drive a US titled car into Canada - unless they provide proof to Canada Customs that the car is coming back to the USA. I know people who have been refused entry with their US titled car - I also know people who are allowed (CDNS attending university in the US) because they showed their "proof." At the same time though, its ultimately up to Customs. If they dont believe you, you may not be able to cross.

There was a Class action Lawsuit that is before the courts now with regards to RIV Canada and MB, it has to do with the Letter of Compliance that MB Canada has forced people to comply with (IE the work must be done by MB etc). I hope the suit goes forward

Replying to: pathrunner (Mar 25, 2008 9:06 pm) Looking at a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder right now in Watertown NY, about 2 hours from me in Ottawa. Was the daytime running lights the only mod you had to do. Also understand I wont have warranty but believe the $12k I am saving makes it worth it. Any way I can get the cash rebate they are offering? Thanks

Replying to: mendonca (Mar 26, 2008 5:19 pm) 1. Found the car 2. Carfax report 3. Got the owner to send to Mercedes Portland for a 155 point certified inspection 4. Reviewed the report 5. flew down, bought the car. 6. Seller showed me the title, verified that the car had a clear title 7. Seller created a 'Bill of Sale' that states both our names, car, vin#, and most importantly the price you bought the car for. 8. I signed both the title and Bill of sale, (and title is kept by me) 9. Transferred money payment via bank 10. Off to the border I went. In terms of plating the car, the seller left his portland plates on the car, and I called Portland DMV explaining my situation and they said I didn't have to get registration since the car was already registered. Apparently if the seller did not include the plate for me, that's when i'd have to go to the Portland DMV to get a permit. Then in Washington State, some people were telling me I had to get a permit in WA too, and some said I don't need it... I don't know if this is the proper way but its how I was told to do it by a few others in earlier posts. ** do not take accountability if this information is incorrect as I am simply sharing my experience during the importation process.
