Importing into Canada, Anyone done it, was it easy? Options

[6gsillyca]

So ive been looking into importing a vehicle from the states, into canada, and was wondering if anyone has done it before, and if it was easy or not. This may also be helpful for anyone else looking to import a vehicle from the states.


So far ive contacted registrar, and they said that on a 94-99 celica, all i need is a recall clearance letter, from the manufacturer, stating that there are no outstanding recalls on the vehicle. i do not believe that there are any recalls for the 6gc. Can anyone confirm this? The only other thing i need to do, within 45 days is a modified out of province inspection, including having DRL's installed.

Need to give US customs 72 hours notice of exportation, fee of $209 at the border, $100 if vehicle has a/c, and any additional duties, which should be none if the car was manufactured in the US.


To anyone whos done this; does it sound like the right steps?

Thanks,
Corey

my buddy imported his first 240sx into canada from florida. he found the car, bought it, shipped it, had to pay an a$$load of duty on it, and had to install a daytime running light kit on it. kit its self was like $50 from crappy tire and just turns on his running lights in the front when he shifts into gear. From what he told me, its gonna cost like $2500 more to import it from the US. my suggestion...buy my car
