#5 of 4492 Car man .... by jlawrence01 Sep 08, 2003 (6:15 am)
There are a lot of Canadians who come into the US for a few years on a job assignment and then head home.   My brother works for a Canadian company and often sell these cars for these Canadians. Personally, I have not figured out why they don't take them home with them.

#7 of 4492 NOT SURE ANYMORE by boomer1b Jul 22, 2004 (6:55 am)
The law USED to be that you couldn't import a used car from the US to Canada unless it was 10 yrs. old or more. I am sure there were a few other exceptions.   Check with Canadian customs or prov. govt. for current rules.

I will be in Ontario on a work permit for 2 years starting this Fall. Does anyone know how that works regarding my 2 vehicles? Will I have to pay a deposit at the border that will be refunded in 2 years? I'm planning to buy a 2005 subaru outback and trade in my 1998 pathfinder prior to the move. thanks joe

#10 of 4492 bringing an Accord 2000 up to Canadian standards by jhowton Jul 22, 2004 (10:07 am)
Anyone have an idea how much it will cost to bring a USA 2000 honda accord up to canadian standards: the bumper adjustment, running lights, etc? if it's real expensive, i may just sell it and buy a new car.... thanks joe

MOST US and Canadian cars share the same emission, bumper, impact, standards.........   The only difference is Canada has required DRLs (daytime running lights) since 95? I think. Most GM cars have had them since 96 anyway. Not sure about other makes.   I live on the US-Canadian border in NY. A lot of local used car dealers bring Canadian vehicles into the US for resale. And yes most mfrs. will and do deny all warranty work.   Not sure how it works the other way around tho...   Best bet is to call Subie USA direct and ask !   Also contact Canadian customs and the Prov. govt. where you will be living about reg. your cars there.   Terry aka RRoyce is the man to ask around here. But hes goofing off golfing somewhere for a few days! I wish it was me instead.......   So if he sees this..He can help ya out!

Hi people and thanks for looking.   I have seen this topic discussed in detail from a warranty perspective and i think i understand in better thanks to the forum.   Im my case, i am a kiwi (New Zealander) immigrating to Ottawa in 6 weeks, and i very much want to buy a Dodge pickup. Several good websites show me many pickups that meet my criteria, and 99% of them are in the USA.   I cant see why i cant fly to the USA, buy the truck i want, and drive it home.   Does anyone know and understand the import laws enough to give me a rundown on what to expect?   Thank you in advance...   Goose Replies to this message: hwudoin (Jul 06, 2005 7:17 pm) pat (Jul 07, 2005 3:38 am) tqh (Jul 16, 2005 9:42 pm) nrbach (Jul 18, 2005 3:58 pm) hwudoin (Aug 21, 2005 11:03 am) and 11 more... ronny1 (Dec 01, 2007 7:13 am) and 2 more...
