importing a car

[Flames9_RN 358]

If ur stil making payments, 1 could just leave ur Cdn bank acct open and pay it from there I guess!! RBC or TD seem to be the better banks to deal with when one is residing in the USA!! Presidents Choice (PC) wanted me to close my acct. I just gave them my parents addy in SK. But many seem to like RBC!! To transfer $$ to PC, I use http://www.customhouse.com/ It is free (electronically) and gives a much better exchange rate than the USA banks! Something else to consider

Glad to hear Honda is pretty good then! ( I plan in importing my honda)

I still have a lein on it tho from Honda finance, has that caused anyone problems?

I have a 2004 Honda Civic that I brought down with me last July .. no problems getting the proper paperwork from Honda and it was free ... some manufacturers charge (there is a post somewhere here with the contact numbers). I was leasing it and had to pay it out before moving to the US. If you still have amounts outstanding for financing they may not let you take it with you across the boarder and if you still have warranty on it you will have to get special permission from the manufacturer for the warranty to continue once you're in the states.

All in all importing the car was a breeze .. in fact I had to ask the customs agent to give me the proper paperwork in order to register it and obtain a title. No duty paid as I owned it for longer than a year.

I think its only GM and Ford that charges ya for the Compliance letter!! Nissan Faxed i to me within minutes for free!! And ya wonder why GM and Ford #'s are slipping? Better Customer Service!!! Plus Honda, Toyota make better cars!!

cool! good news all around

I am already with RBC, so that's a plus

my car won't be paid off till 2010 and I don't mind keeping my account open in Canada so the payments keep coming thru

Thanks for the info. The Honda dealership where I bought my car told me about getting the speedometer changed. They were probably hoping I would get it done there! Scammers! I am glad to hear that others have imported their Hondas without having to pay duty.
