Warranty on cars imported into Canada by lazarus
Apr 01, 2008 (3:14 pm)

Hello everyone,
 
These questions may have been answered already, but there are so many responses here, I thought it would be a good idea to post the questions again.
 
If I were to purchase a new or used car from the U.S. and bring it into Canada, will the warranty be honoured?
 
I have heard so many answers to this question, such as it depends on the manufacturer or if the car is new or used. I can save many thousands of dollars on a few of the cars I am considering, so it would really be appreciated if I can get an answer to this.
 
As well, I have heard that there are some cars that need just a cheap inspection, and some that need bumper work that can run into the thousands of dollars. Is this true?
 
Thanks so much for your help...
 
Michael

You may want to check the APA.ca site - they have just updated their waranty information. I believe they did a good job at updating this info last week.

Daytime Running Lights by jnap0527

Does anyone know of a good place in the Hamilton, Ontario area that will install daytime running lights? I assume that there's MANY US vehicles that don't have them as standard, and knowing that this feature is required to pass the federal inspection, I would assume many people have found a place that will do this.
 
Is there a relay/module I can buy or is there simply a place that will do it for a reasonable cost. Any advice, tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Again, I am from the Hamilton, Ontario area.

Hi yes as I understand it Honda does not honour warranty here. Then again I don't expect to need it. Honda is a quality product.
 
I think if there was a major problem like the Camry V6 6 speed trannies they would likely do something about it as a good will.
Hopefully I won't need it.
Someone will likely sue Honda soon and like Toyota a few years ago, they will begin to honour their warranties.
I have saved over 20 K I will take the risk.

Hi Phil
 
How did you license the car in Hilton Head?

I just came back from North Carolina with an import. The dealer attached a paper "temporary plate" to the car. Good for 30 days. Total cost ONE dollar.

Just curious what kind of vehicle you're looking at? What kind of quote did you receive from the US side? I found a site that helps Canadians with the process and will even DELIVER the vehicle...check it out at www.bordercompany.com

I do believe you're correct on this... I use to work for a dealership in the States and we had a lot of Canadians who came down to purchase new vehicles; however, this is no longer possible. I believe the Canadian Government put a ban on "new" vehicle purchases to try to stop Canadian residents to stop buying in the States as typically they're saving thousands of dollars. However, if the vehicle is "used" (no minimum mileage) and used (previously licensed in the United States) it can be imported into Canada. I know of a company that will purchase the car NEW for you and actually deliver it to a regional airpot for you. Check out the site at www.bordercompany.com

Insurance by raven007

Does anyone know of any company that would sell insurance to non-resident (with no cancellation fee) and will this insurance be valid in Canada (if there is no cancellation fees it does not really matter if it is valid in Canada after I register it here)?
The state I am looking to purchase the car in is Virginia and I am in Ontario.
I cannot purchase insurance in Ontario for US car since I do not currently have the insurance here.
 
Thanks.
