On the heals of Transport Canada's Flight Rights announcement last friday ...
 
Today CarsWithoutBorders formally requested that the Government establish a "Car or Vehicle Rights" group to protect Canadian Automobile Consumers against Price Gouging, warranty, recall letter and overall purchasing descrimmination based on nationality, race, sex or religion!
 
To help kick start Mr. Cannon's department CarsWithoutBorders has submitted a "draft" Rights statement of principles and Code of conduct for Car Manufacturers and Dealers.
 
All comments and improvements to these documents are welcomed. email us at infocarswithoutborders.com.

Subject: Your Party’s position on “Fair Automobile Pricing for Canadians” Letter to the Leaders all of the key political parties of Canada!
 
As most of you are aware, CarsWithoutBorders was founded last November 2007, as a result of Government “bungling” over the rules regarding the importation of vehicles into Canada. Many average hard working Canadians were prevented from freely purchasing less expensive vehicles in the U.S.
 
Working hard with Transport Canada, our group of members has been successful in helping to change the regulations and make it easier for Canadians to realize substantial savings. Many have reduced their cost of living significantly! This year to date, over 89,000 Canadians have saved over $450 M purchasing their vehicles in the U.S. But the “gouging” by the Canadian Car Manufacturers continues!Recent articles in MacLean’s Magazine and the Saint Jean Telegraph point out that although prices in Canada have come down 6-8%, Canadians are still paying billions of dollars more than their cousins in the U.S. for the same equivalent automobiles. Similarly, car parts and services are also higher in Canada.
 
  
 
  
 
So with the country on the verge of an election, and many hundreds of our members located in the “key” turn-around ridings, that will make or break your changes of forming the next Government, we need to understand your parties’ stance on these key consumer issues.
 
  
 
If elected, what will your Government do to even the playing field and ensure that hard working Canadians are no longer “gouged” by the Canadian Car Manufacturers? What will your Government do to ensure that Canadians have the choice to freely shop in the U.S. to achieve substantial savings? What will your Government do to help establish “Fair Automobile Pricing” for hard working Canadians?
 
  
 
We would appreciate a timely response, or if you would like further clarification please have your people call us.

Hello,
New to this forum. I'm hoping to import a 2008 Boxster S and was wondering if you had any problems with the CMVSS 114 (immobiliser) requirement on your Cayenne?
thx.

We have no problem with the immobilizer when importing the 2008 new Porsche Cayenne. The Daytime Running Light needs to be turned on though.

Thanks for the response. I recently got the recall clearance letter from Porsche Cars North America. In the letter they state that the instrument cluster needs to be changed. That's news to me as the speedometer and odometer digital readout can be switched to metric.
 
Did you clearance letter state that as well and if so did you have to change the instrument cluster?
 
Thanks again for the help.

I imported a 2007 911-4S Cab in late march of this year. Got the letter from Jolene at Porsche as well. Said exactly the same thing. Try to get a "Job management report" from a dealership as well. I had both. RIV glanced at the latter and said that's what they usually see and it's oK. No changes whatsoever need on my 911. D.R. Lights activated at the US dealer as part of my pre-purchase inspection package ( about 250 total... just lights about 50) That dealership inspection is well worth it. As well as checking for recallsand all previous repairs, they check basic mechanicals, bodywork for re-painting and drive the car as well, and give you a written report.
