Replying to: doc911 (Jan 31, 2008 9:25 am) Hi Doc,   What changes were needed to bring your 911 up to Canadian specs and how much did your dealership charge to do the mods?   Thanks Replies to this message: doc911 (Dec 22, 2008 12:37 pm) marat1975 (Dec 22, 2008 1:54 pm)

Replying to: birdmanbryan (Dec 18, 2008 9:22 pm) Hey Birdman...   I brought (personally drove) a 2007 911 4S Cab up in 2008. NO modifications required whatsoever in Canada. Had the DR Lights activated at USA Porsche Dealer when I had my pre-purchase inspection done (extra $50). Metric already available on dash. That was it!   Consider buying a "certified" car. Gives you bumper to bumper warranty for SIX years instead of 4 in both USA & Can. Good luck.

#4451 of 4513 Balance of Honda Warranty on Used US Car in Canada by Kingbird Jan 01, 2009 (7:45 am)
Been reading posts on new Honda cars migrating from the US to Canada.   Question, that I don't really see answered anywhere.   If a used US Honda vehicle is purchased in Canada from a 3rd party dealer (Non-honda), can the vehicle be dragged back to the US for Warranty work?   For example: a major component fails, can I get this US vehicle back to the US for warranty service?   I am not talking about recall work as this looks to be covered: Honda of Canada Warranty   Should I just go with the 3rd party warranty and forget about the balance of the factory warranty?   Thanks Replies to this message: sem1 (Jan 02, 2009 12:51 pm)

Replying to: Kingbird (Jan 01, 2009 7:45 am) Hi. I went down into Washington state to purchase a new 2007 Honda CRV a couple of years ago and brought it back into Alberta. The dealer that I bought it from informed me that any regular warranty work would be done by them if necessary. In fact I had to have some rear differential work done about 6 months after I bought it and the dealer in the US said they could do it under warranty. However, I had the work done in Canada as it was only about $125. Of course my Honda dealer in Canada where I get all my service done made me pay for it. I felt at the time it was not worth driving to the States to have it done.   Hopefully this information is of some assistance.

#4454 of 4513 Newcomer importing his car from US into Canada by mrzamo May 28, 2009 (7:45 pm)
Dear,   I hope someone can answer me:   I am moving from US into Canada (newcomer) driving my SUV Honda Pilot 2009.   I am very concern about the RIV requirement about Electronic Immobilizer System according CMVSS 114.   Someone knows if it would be acceptable the "Immobilizer Theft-Deterrent System" device that come on the Honda Pilot ? or Not ?   In case NOT, then Can I install an Electronic Immobilizer System in Toronto ? Is this acceptable and RIV regulation (aftermarket EIS)   Best regards   MZ
#4455 of 4513 toyota sienna CE 7-seat 09 pricing in Canada by fluvio May 31, 2009 (8:35 am)
Hi,    I just got a quote for a toyota 09 sienna CE 7-seat (all basic+freight) for 27700+GST and wonder if any1 has recently negotiated a deal on this vehicle in Canada and could share their purchase prices and experiences? It was very naive of me that we didn't even talk about mats, security, DRL and block heater at the time, I just foolishly thought they would come with the car in Canada. Any thoughts??Tnx    Ron Replies to this message: tcp2 (Jun 01, 2009 7:03 am)

Replying to: fluvio (May 31, 2009 8:35 am) If this is a Canadian CE, DRL are standard. Even if not, you put a fuse into the fuse panel to "activate" the DRL. That's it.   Pretty sure the Block heater comes installed anyway from the import. Mats are available at Canadian Tire a lot cheaper than toyota and you have key chip security (RFID stuff) already. There is a dealer programmable "security" system that is just software based that can be turned on if you find a capable dealer. You can also add a Glass break sensor to the system, but that isn't manditory.   You got a very good price, run with it. Canadian CE's are equipped differently than US CEs. You have heated mirrors, tow package and several other items included as standard. Not so in the US.
