Importing a financed car

[ClemsonC 62]

Has anyone had problems importing and registering their car that is financed? 
 

Everything I’m reading talks about compliance letters (which I have) but I’m stumped on this part now.

And does the motor vehicle department in the state of residence permit a lien holder from outside the USA?

forgot  to ask

who holds the titile

some US states hold it till the lien is paid off / some let the buyer hold the title but it lists the finance company as lien holder

 

what does Canada do?

 

if you don't have a title,  u would be able to register

Alberta does not have a automobile titles. I was shocked by the concept when I moved to the USA. 
 

Dunno about other provinces

I have the bill of sale, the registration is in my name. That’s all I have. We don’t have titles here

either.

 

I’ll have to figure out if There’s a lien

If it is financed you need the loan company to put it in writing that you can import it. In all my years I have only seen it once where the finance company allowed it.

Looks like I’ll have to reallocate some house selling proceeds lol

My finance company let me bring my vehicle across, but they had a US division and it wasn't dealership financed.  I wanted to bring a dealership financed vehicle when I came back the second time and that was a hard no, they would not allow it.

If its financed ,  there is a lien/  u don't own it till its paid for

You can’t register a car with a lien. We privately sold our car in Canada, used the money to pay of the auto loan off with RBC. Moved across to US and purchased used vehicles.
