精华 如何到美国买新车回加拿大?

[leizh]

Does anyone notice that for the 2008 Subara models, the warranty has been changed. You have to pay to the Canadian dealers first for the maintenance, and get reimburse from the US dealers based on the cost of the same work that is done in US, which means that you might have to pay higher here in Canada, but get less reimburse from the US dealer since the parts are usually cheaper in US.

I am still in the process of confirming that the 2007 models won't be affected by the new warranty statement that is effective on June 21, 2007, even though you buy it in September or later. I am thinking of importing a 2007 Impreza sport wagon. Anyone knows this car? Any opinion? I was told by a local Canadian dealer that its muffler has to be modified to meet the Canadian regulation, and will cost few thousands. I am wondering if that's true. I can't believe that.

到美国进口新的2007 TOYOTA-SIENNA (CE) 回加拿大

谢谢各位提供信息的网友. 如我买新的美国产的车回加拿大, 我到时会POST我的经历.

我19天前到美国进口了一辆新的2007 TOYOTA-SIENNA (CE) 回加拿大. 包括ALL COSTS , TOTAL SAVING是 $9513 (加元).

我的经历和CVICTOR回复本贴的”美国买车记”大体一样. 只是我走KINGSTON 对面的Alexandria Bay 出关和进关. 在Alexandria Bay, 如是新车而且有MCO (MANUFACTURER’S CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN) (原件)和DEALER 签发的BILL OF SALES (原件, 上面有你的NAME & CANADIAN ADDRESS),就可以顺利出关. 而且不须要提前72小时发这些文件给Alexandria Bay. 72小时的规定只是对已经在美国注册的车(只有TITLE, 没有MCO). 进加拿大海关时交GST 和$100 的AC FEE, 然后加拿大海关人员会给你他填好的FORM1 和 GST的收据. RIV 费自己回来后在网上交,并将FORM1和CLEARANCE RECALL LETTER的SCANNED COPIES 用E-MAIL送到RIV OFFICE. 两天后打电话到RIV OFFICE CONFIRM 后, 他们会马上E-MAIL “FEDERAL INSPECTION FORM” (FORM2) 给你. 打印出FORM2并带上FORM1 (原件:WHITE & YELLOW COPIES)和CLEARANCE RECALL LETTER(原件)到CANADIAN TIRE做检查. 检查通过后, 他们会FAX到RIV OFFICE并在FORM1&2 上盖章后还给你原件. 带上这些表和MCO(原件)及BILL OF SALES (原件)和GST的收据到MTO OFFICE 注册上牌照.

我的体会是, 如买TOYOTA车, 最难的是要找到愿意卖车给你的DEALER. TOYOTA车厂不容许其美国DEALER卖车给加拿大人. 和加拿大接壤的州的DEALER很清楚这一规定. 可能在南部的州的一些DEALER不知道这一规定.但到最后还是要知道的. 这就要靠你每一步的策略把他们套牢.我打了电话给很多离OTTAWA ~1000KM 的DEALER, 最后找到一个DEALER同意卖给我. 等我要MCO时, 他们发觉不能卖新车给加拿大人. 但这时已经为时晚了,因为我已经把钱WIRE他们的账上. 他们最后告诉我, 将再不会卖新车到加拿大, 并要我替他们保密.

不光TOYOTA, 北美车也一样，曾经想买PT CRUSER, 一听说是加拿大人，就是没车行卖给我

YOU ARE LUCKY

The US dealer gave me the temporary plate of their state and I paid $28 (us) for it. It is valid for 60 days in both US and Canada.

I called several Toyota dealers in New York State. They told me that they could only sell it to me if I could provide them local address. In that situation, I have to pay the New York State Tax. Then I am wondering whether there is any difference in procedure and fee to import the vehicle.

Then I think it will be a used car import to canada instead of new car import.

First: You need to pay US tax.
Second: You need to register the car in NY state first and buy US auto insurance.
Third: You have to obtain "The Title" of the car (no MCO any more) from a MTO office of NY state.
Fourth: Pay GST and PST in Canada.
Fifth: In addition of RIV's "Federal Inspection", you have to pay for Safty check and E-test before you can register your car in Canada.

Try TOYOTA dealers in the states further south and not border with Canada.

1 or 2 years of used car is not bad. Could you point what makes the difference in financial cost between the two importations? BTW, I was told that I had to pay the New York State Tax as well for used cars.

Thanks for your detailed explanation!

I will definitely try some other states further south. On other hand, in case I am not lucky enough. I can at least find a state with lower state tax around 4-5%. I will be glad for the deal if there are no significant other costs. Could you confirm?

As I know, there is no other significant costs.

Some states don't have tax on Autos. I was told Deleware is one of them. But you need a friend or relative in those states to buy a car for you.

One thing I need to tell you, for pre-registered (second hand) car, you will be taxed based on the price listed in the Canadian Blue Book. Bassicaly, the GST and PST are based on Canadian price not on the US price you paid. This would result in $1400 more on GST and PST together for a price difference of $10000.

Sorry more questions inccurred by your answers

(1) Why do I need a friend or relative to buy a car, as it is still under my name?
(2) Even in my name, as it is registered in States, will it be still considered as pre-registered one?
