Importing Canadian Car
 

I'm trying to purchase a Dodge from Canada, and we have been gathering the paperwork. We reached a road block when dodge told him that they will not give him the papers stating the car is EPA meets US standards. They will only give it to an authorised importer they said. Has anyone on here ever imported a car from Canada? I know there's some Canadian guys on here, so wondering if anyone has anything to add on what else we can do, besides pay an importer $600 to import it for us. Maybe someone who's done this before.

Get out your wallet and bend over. What made this dodge from Canada better then a dodge from the US eh?

Re: Importing Canadian Car
 

$600 from canada to us..is not bad...i agree with above statement..grab wallet and bend over...if ur gonna do it get a car thats worth the $$$ to import..skyline...dc2..etc...

Nothing makes this car BETTER then the US version. It's simply the price. It's hard to find these for a decent price, and someone in Canada is selling it for a decent price. That's it. If I could find the same car in the US, for the same price, I'd get it. But this ones in Canada. I found out everything I need to import it. We have everything we need now, except for this one EPA sheet from Dodge. They will not give it to us. So has anyone else ever done this that can tell me how they got the EPA form?

Just toss some plates on it and drive it across.

Just drive it over, they won't ask questions. Then figure out the rest later on when you have time/money.

I spoke with a local customs guy that works at MSP airport. He told me all I need to do is have the title, have the form i already have, and I should be good. Looks like I should be picking up the junkyard project car maybe next week!

Re: Importing Canadian Car

Re: Importing Canadian Car
 

Now thats a nice offer, Does it have to do with the location you cross the border?

Re: Importing Canadian Car
 

I live in hamilton so im not far from buffalo and could make the trip to michihian if realy needed.
you payfor the car and send me 25 to get a 10 day pass and I will grab your car and meet up with you.
just say im going to meet a budy and thats that

Re: Importing Canadian Car
 

Thanks for the offer. The customs agent said I need some form filled out by customs though so I can get it titled though. If for some reason I get in a jam, I'll let you know. Thanks man!!

Do you need a visa to cross? Pre 9/11 you didn't but I'm not sure if that ever changed.

Re: Importing Canadian Car
 

No. You don't need a VISA, nor a Passport. Just proof of citizenship (IE drivers license, birth cert, etc)

Re: Importing Canadian Car
 

right now you are ok with your liscense if your a citizen, if not you have to have a pasport.
my girlfriend is english and I had to pay 6 doller for a entry permit for her good for 90 days.

after jan 1st you will have to have your pasport no matter what

Re: Importing Canadian Car
 

you need a passport.

Re: Importing Canadian Car
 

I crossed the border yesterday (from Canada to the US), no passport

Re: Importing Canadian Car
 

You do not need a passport. I just talked with the customs agents on the Detroit border. You don't need it.

I'm no longer pursuing this car. It's too much of a headache. Instead I found one in the US, non running for $675. Just gotta get out there with a dolley and bring her home!
