[Auto] WOW ---- New and used cars from US up to 30% cheaper - Read post #1

Hi

Anyone imported a 2010/12 Challenger...I know about the no warranty...can I take it back to the USA for repairs? or do they axe that as well.

Also what is this Electronic Immobilizer System....do all Challengers come with this? I have read...it's a must when importing into Canada.

I see some big saving for a used RT/SRT model.

Thanks
Chris

They will have EIS, however they will not be covered under warranty on either side of the border. Simply purchase a 3rd party warranty and you are golden!

Does anyone know of a web page or other source where the state tax rules for all states for cars being exported to Canada is listed?
.
.
.
I contacted Missouri & they said there is no sales tax on cars exported. Their reply was:

Thank you for your e-mail inquiry to the Missouri Department of Revenue.

If you purchase a vehicle from Missouri you will not pay sales tax in Missouri, unless you are a Missouri resident; regardless of if you purchase the unit from a dealer or individual.
.
.
.
California and Florida (told to me via a dealer and on some posts I saw on this and other forums) says there is state tax payable unless the vehicle is shipped out of state (meaning you can't pick it up at the dealer and drive it home but you can pay to have it shipped to the Canadian border).
.
.
.
I believe there are some other states that do not charge sales tax on vehicle purchases by out of state residents when the vehicle is being exported out of the state.

Out of state does not mean to the Canadian border. You just have to ship it across state lines.

This question comes up a lot. I know MonsieurMaggot mentions it is on his web page, but I can't find a section on his site. (?)

In any event, I've dealt with both Pennsylvania and N. Carolina, and neither dealer needed to collect state tax, so add that to your list.

Yes actually I heard that about California - about shipping it into Arizona (maybe by having the dealer drive it there) then you take delivery there.

I am planning to trade in a californian car for a higher-end car when I finish my studies/training in the Us.However, California make you pay tax not on the New minus trade-in value but the full new car value eg on a 40,000 car with a 10,000 trade in you pay approx 10% tax on the $40000 not on $30000
As I plan on driving back to Toronto with a new car,Phlegm2 suggested one dealer in PA which does not charge sales tax.However,PA is out of the routing from CA to TO.so Missouri may come in handy. Drive old California car to trade in there and drive new car home.
I tried Oregon dealers in a state that supposedly has No sales tax on car,which essentially told me if I use my Californian address,they will charge CA tax.
If I give Canadian address,they cant sell new to me. only used car and on top of that they have to charge me Canadian tax(I dont know how they are going to submit this tax to the CAnadian govt for me,how do I tell the Canadian Border or the provincial sales tax people,seems like a cock and bull story to me)

Any Canadian bought from no-sales-tax dealer please PM me or advise on this forumThanks

Great message clsl!

I also ran into the problem you mention in Ontario, forcing me to get the second inspection. I still don't think it is required, but could not find anyone at MTO to agree, so I gave in.

I'm having the same problem with MTO today. Theyre wrong and the info is on their website http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dan...rgoutcan.shtml. i imported an impreza 2010 no problems, im assuming its just untrained staff this time around. im going to try calling in on tuesday and going to the kennedy/lawrence office to registar as that one was ok with it last time. you should complain those idiots cost you, they're trying to insist i need safety and etest. i have a brandnew outback PZEV.

A US dealer collecting Canadian tax? That is a first, and probably the biggest BS I've ever heard - and I've heard some good BS!

Let me know how it goes. There was a post in this forum (months and months ago) about an Ontario importer who successfully avoided the safety certificate. If you get confirmation, I might actually go back to the MTO to get a refund - not even sure if that's possible, but I'd try it.

i didnt have to get the safety in 2010 importing a new unregistered impreza and neither did my friend importing a new unregistered outback. it clearly states on the website here also http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/faq/vehicle.shtml#ssc that safety is not required for new unregistered vehicles. etest not required for current or future model years.

My friend's hubby bought a 6mth old Mustang from a dealer outside San Fran and to avoid the tax
he drove a dealer car and the salesman drove the mustang to the Nevada border and switched cars.
No prob and no tax!!

Anyone with recent experience purchasing from a US Ford dealership, that would be willing to share their experience and answer a few questions? Please PM me.

+ 1 for MARYLAND. They took a copy of my Ontario licence and I signed a form saying not a resident of Maryland.
