#4451 of 4492 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.

Replying to: azruss (Apr 01, 2008 7:50 am) Did you ever get an answer about importing a Freightliner? I am looking at a 2006 Freightliner Sportchassis and cant find much.
#4454 of 4492 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 4492 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.
#4457 of 4492 US immatriculated car ... in Canada by jlinsaudi Jun 10, 2009 (1:33 am)
My husband is American and I am Canadian. We bought our car in US ( 2004 Chevrolet Taho) but are leaving for work in Saudi Arabia for at least a year long. We would like to leave the car to my parents in Canada so they can use it but without changing the immatriculation as we might (or might not) return next year. If we put my father's name as part owner of the car , is there any complication in leaving the car in Canada at all ???
#4458 of 4492 Highlander Hybrid MFD by rjmbc Jun 28, 2009 (12:32 pm)
I bought a new 2008 Highlander Hybrid in the US. Since that time I have been attempting to get the MFD to indicate L/100KM rather than MPG. Every Toyota dealer I contacted said "can't be done". Well I was able to have mine changed and it now reads L/100KM. My next task is to get the outside temperature to read C rather than F. If anyone is interested in knowing how to get it done (Toyota has to do it) send me a message with an email address and I will send you a copy of a Toyota document that explains what has to be done.

#4460 of 4492 North American Warranties by bill239 Jul 13, 2009 (7:21 pm)
We are preparing to buy a new car but are also expecting to be relocated to Canada from the US in about a year. Several of the car brands we have checked no longer have North American Warranties (ie when we move to Canada we will lose warranty coverage). The brands we have checked so far are VW, Subaru, and Volvo. Does anyone know which car companies still offer North American Warranties or if there is a way around this Warranty problem for people that are actually changing residency.   By the way this problem would also affect anyone purchasing a new car that is simply traveling in Canada on a short visit if your car broke down in Canada! and it would also affect people who buy their car in Canada and are traveling in the US.
