| 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 ??? | |

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.

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.

I've bought a used truck from a dealer in Michigan and will be bringing it in to Canada in October. I'm familiar with all the RIV procedures etc, but what I've been getting conflicting info about is whether I can get a temporary trip-permit from Michigan that'll allow me to drive the truck to the border then into Ontario. Has anyone here bought a vehicle in Michigan and gotten a temporary permit from the dealer? Any info or suggestions greatly appreciated! Thanks. Greg.
