As long as the speedometer has kph on it (on a US model it will probably be the smaller of the 2 with MPH being the dominant), then you are ok. Now some Porsche's come with ONLY MPH on it. If that is the case, then you will have to get a KPH speedometer.

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.

Purchasing Lexus in USA by mikem17

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

Does anyone have any advice as to how to go about this process?
 
Specifics on taxes? Compliance issues?
 
Any advice on companies that have expertise in this area?
 
Thanks.

Importing Nissan Sentra by coolest35

Im planning on importing a 2010 Nissan Sentra, the problem was that the specific trim I was looking for was not available in the state of NY. The closest one that I found was in Wisconsin. Now I've gotten in touch with the dealer, and we've come upon a price and he's agreed to give me a temporary tag and everything. What I'm planning to do is, purchase the car from him.. with my Ontario Drivers License.
 
Now the problem is actually picking the car up, I understand that I would require insurance and all that jazz and that makes everything more complicated. The dealer's offered to transport the car to NY, to a particular address I want. Would that be a better option?
 
Only questions I have are:
 
1) If dealers willing to ship the car to my preferred address in NY.. what strings could be attached besides COST?
 
2) On arrival at the Border.. I would need a MSO from the dealership and its a pretty simple process at US Customs right? Also me being a dual national, will that matter?
 
3) CBSA: My understanding is that you have to pay the $200 fee, and bring all the forms (online) with you, along with the MSO. Anything else?
 
4) Once that's done, you go to your province.. get it inspected at a Canadian Tire, apply for insurance and pay MTO stuff and get plates...
 
Thats it?
 
IT SOUNDS TEDIOUS, can anyone clarify?

All the newer model RX 350's have daytime running lights. Car is indeed built in North America so no duty to pay which is a bonus.
