"How to import a car into Canada"


With our dollar flying (again) so high, importing a car from US can save you a lot of money!

Financial Post had this article on October 14th: Cross-border shopping for a value car.

Canadian buyers imported a record 240,000 vehicles from the United States last year, both new and used. The market slowed when the dollar sank well below US90¢. Only 18,800 vehicles were imported in the first quarter of 2009.

But with the loonie’s 21% surge since then, it threatens to make life a living hell again for Canadian auto sellers and other retailers alike. The dollar last traded at par with the U.S. greenback in July 2008.

So now it is the best time to search for your next car in US and save money!

Imagine for a moment this scenario: as long as our dollar stays strong fly one way to Florida in December,  buy a new car, drive it home and with the money you save offset the depreciation for 1 year.

You can do this each year - basically have a nice trip someplace warm, have a car to drive around for the week, and sell the car used after 12 months for what you originally bought it for new, thereby basically driving a new car every year for free!

Who wouldn't like to get the deal like this, but how? Read further!

Live on the radio!

I was live on the Rutherford show at AM 770 CHQR radio (Calgary, AB) talking about the procedure of importing a vehicle into Canada, and answering the questions from many interested listeners.

I was also live on the "The Jim Richards Show" at NewsTalk 1010 CFRB (Toronto, ON) talking again about the procedure of importing the car.

Cost breakdown:

List in Canada with same options $37,850 plus PST and GST - approx $43,900
Cost US demo with 7000 on the clock $21,200 Canadian plus RIV and inspections $420.00 plus PST and GST - approx $24,500

Difference of almost $20,000 while I admit I am comparing new with slightly used I would still say I saved about $10,000.

Only negative - Chrysler won't honour the warranty.

If you're reading this you're probably already burdened with too much information, well aware of the potential savings,  but confounded in procedure and now constipated in the decision.

There are so many questions and even more wrong answers on the internet regarding to importing a vehicle into Canada.

In this book I will give you a step-by-step procedure how to import a vehicle from US and save $2000-$3,000 on compact car  versus saving like $5,000-$10,000 on other models (Subaru's, BMW's, upscale luxurious cars).

You can do it too: success stories (page 8)

Would this saving be worth importing and going through the hassle?

With the Canadian dollar so high these days against the U.S. dollar, many vehicles are priced lower in the United States than Canada. Traditionally, vehicle prices have been higher in the United States. The rapid drop in the value of the U.S. dollar in 2002 reversed this trend.

Now, there are significant savings available to Canadian consumers who are able to buy vehicles imported from the United States. These vehicles are virtually identical to Canadian vehicles, except for minor differences, such as labeling differences and metric odometers.

"Every dollar counts to me so if I can save more than $2,000 that still may be worth whatever hassle to import."

CTV had a special on this:
Cars more expensive in Canada despite high dollar

"Automakers have not adjusted their prices to reflect the strong Canadian dollar and the typical new vehicle now costs 17 per cent more in Canada than in the United States. The biggest single differential was for the Nissan Murano intermediate SUV, priced 26 per cent higher in Windsor, Ontario, than in neighbouring Detroit."

Models in the ever-expanding entry-level luxury segment, which includes numerous models from about $40,000 to $55,000, regularly carry Canadian price premiums between 15 to 25 percent.

The whole point of buying a car from the US is to get a 2+ year old car that looks like brand new because it never saw Canadian winters and blast crater roads but still depreciated price wise the same because there's a million of every model available for sale in the USA no matter where you go.

Until two years ago when the U.S. dollar started tanking, it was cheaper to buy cars here. In the 80s and 90s in fact it was so much cheaper to buy cars here (when you factored in the exchange rate), that many U.S. consumers used to buy their cars in Canada and import them to the south.

The stronger Canadian dollar is a very recent thing in the auto market.

For a couple of hours of paperwork you could save 
a few thousand dollars on a $30,000 car!

With the current exchange rate this is a gold mine that will slowly but surely be capitalized on.

Recent success story:

Just brought back 2006 Subaru Outback XT from the States. Simple process. Didn't need a inspection in Alberta. I just took the original title to a registry office and they registered it-no problem. They said that new vehicles DO NOT need any inspection.

The US deal was a NO HASSLE sale. Customer service was top notch also with no pressure sales. This is the price and there was no negotiation and no BS fees. I saved about $14,000 Canadian.

I may never buy from a Canadian Dealer again!

Case study: 2007 Sonata Top of the Line Models

In Canada 2007 Sonata GLS V6 Premium: MSRP $30,340 (CAD dollar) including freight etc.

In US 2007 Sonata Limited with Ultimate Package (Better stereo 6 disc changer) is MSRP 
23,845 including freight and 1,750 rebate (US dollar). 

Need to install Day time running lights (between $40 and $200 CAD).

US Sonata $23,845 (based on MSRP) + 200 DRL = $24,045 CAD

I spoke to a salesman who emailed me a price of $22,400 including rebate + 200 DRL = $22,600 CAD

When I went to shop at Local Hyundai Dealership they basically wanted $31,139 including block heater and $125 for paint (black is free).

so $31,139 minus what I was quoted from states:

31139
-22600
---------------
8539
Difference is $8,539 and tax differences as well
(GST and PST paid on lower base)

Another success story:

"I bought a 2003 Saab 9-5 wagon with 42.000 miles [approximately 68.000 km]. One owner, off lease, $13,100 US + 6.1% import fee (assembled in Sweden).
Not many for sale up here, but dealers in the GTA are asking about $22k-24k for a comparable car. And mine spent its first 3 winters in North Carolina.
Saabs are nice for import - even in the US, they already have daytime running lights and kilometers on the speedometer.

I phoned GM (who owns Saab) yesterday and they say they will honor my warranty - which theoretically means I can buy an extended warranty at a Canadian dealer!"
