#4396 of 4518 Re: importing a boxster , audi tt or cayman [usacars2canada] by 08boxsters Sep 19, 2008 (5:44 am)
Replying to: usacars2canada (Sep 15, 2008 5:13 am) 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.

Replying to: 08boxsters (Sep 19, 2008 5:44 am) 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.

Replying to: 08boxsters (Sep 19, 2008 5:44 am) The RIV will either need a recall clearance letter from Porsche manufacturer, or a "print out" from the dealer. The "print out" for Porsche is the job management report. The latter will be more convenient.

Replying to: doc911 (Sep 20, 2008 7:07 am) Thanks for the note. I phoned PCNA and was told that the sentence regarding changing the instrument cluster is part of the form letter and that the 08 Boxster S will not need to be changed.   Good news. I crossed the Coutts AB border today without any issues. 30 minutes to get accross. Hopefully the rest of the import journey goes as smooth. The car is fantastic.

Replying to: scrolllock (Jul 10, 2008 5:22 am) Has anyone done this in to Alberta lately? How does the pricing compare? Is there any difficulties that are not mentioned here? Replies to this message: edel08 (Sep 23, 2008 11:38 am) gt37 (Sep 24, 2008 1:43 am) worldwideautos (Oct 18, 2008 1:15 pm)
#4402 of 4518 Why are used cars so much cheaper in the us than canada? by gt37 Sep 23, 2008 (6:13 am)
Seriously considering buying a used 2007 or 2008 Dodge Caravan. Checked some ads online and ebay and found the prices to be significantly higher in Canada for the same year, mileage, condition, etc. All things considered, is buying in the US then importing the way to go? Also, why the huge price difference?
#4403 of 4518 Used Price Difference by gaylenw Sep 23, 2008 (8:46 am)
one big difference in price for the vehicles in supply and demand . The one thing you need to get is the VIN number and call your Dodge dealer and they will run the VIN and tell you if they can turn on the DRL's. This was the only question that I came up against when finding a van for my sister. Other than that she saved about $8000.00 US over buying 1 in BC. What a difference it was.

Replying to: edel08 (Sep 22, 2008 8:36 pm) I just noticed that I did not mention that I was specifically interested in a 2009 Forester Replies to this message: gt37 (Sep 24, 2008 1:43 am)
