He just go there to fill out paperwork and drive out the car in a temporary plate. Do all the necessary paperwork for cross the border, like recall letter, certificate to prove car made, fax docs to border customs ahead of time. You should know the procedure ahead of purchase. NH title is issued in your friend name but NH has no sales tax. Check insurance and temp plate re driving in USA and Canadian parts after the border. You can take the Motor Vehicle Inspection Form to Canadian Tires to have car inspection pass before going to Motor Vehicle Dept to have the Canadian plate and registration issued. Canadian Tires can install the DRL and immobilizer for a reasonable small fee. |

Replying to: gpard (Sep 03, 2009 2:47 pm) Don't know the requirements, but here are some thoughts on how to potentially best go about it: - Call Aston Canada / US and tell them that you're an existing owner and are meticulous about the care of your pride and joy. You want to find out if any work needs to be done, and if so, does it need to be done by a dealer. Get the list of work that needs to be done in writing from Aston. - Ask Aston if it matters if it is done by a dealer in Canada or the US. Get that in writing - If Aston confirms that the work can be done by a US dealer, I'd make the purchase contingent on it being done by the seller (unless it is a private deal). There cannot be that many people stepping up to by a used Vantage. If you've got cash in hand, they should do the mods as part of the deal. Long story short. Get everything in writing. Get the seller to pay for the mods. Good luck! |

Replying to: doc911 (Jan 31, 2008 9:25 am) When you say there are no modification required on the part of the odometer, are you saying that by switching the metrics on the onboard computer is suffice? since you would still have the dials in miles right? only the computer system are set to kilometers? Thanks

| My 911 has an MPH speedometer, and KPH digital speed readout...self programmable with the owner's manual..And that got approved last year. Porsches are the easliest luxury car to import. | |

Has anyone recently purchased a new or nearly new ES350 or RX350 in the US lately? If so can you recommend any dealers close to Toronto. I visited a dealership in Buffalo and they seemed quite knowledgeable about selling to Canadians but they have not responded to my emails of late. Thanks Mike |
