GTS is faster, but requires premium gas. tell her to research the car if she doesn't know anything about it.

Laura: that Car, in Canada will go for well over $12,000 at auction. (depending, it could make up to $16,000 at a dealer)

Figure: $7500 to buy in USD, + 18% exchange rate : $8850.

You have to pay PST on the car (Ontario is 8: $9558.

License is about $150 + $75 Mechanical inspection.

Under $11,000.

That's not stupid at all... paying $5000 for no warranty, and the pleasure of the bad coffee at a used car lot... that's stupid.

$7151.52 is current bid and the reserve hasn't been met.

So, it will have to go up in price to meet his lowest accepted bid.

I think blind reserves are stupid, just start the freaking bidding at the lowest price you will take.

ok, you will want o check out this website
http://www.riv.ca/english/html/how_to_import.html

first off you have to ship the car from florida

What to do
before you import

Make sure your vehicle is admissible and can be modified to meet Canadian requirements by checking Transport Canada's List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States. The Registrar of Imported Vehicles program regulates only vehicles originally manufactured for the U.S. market. The program regulates passenger cars, trucks, vans, jeeps, chassis cabs, trailers, motorcycles and snowmobiles less than 15 years old; off-road vehicles manufactured after May 1, 1988 and buses manufactured after January 1, 1971.
For information on the importation of vehicles into Canada from countries other than the United States, go to Transport Canada's web site.
Check the list on this web site for typical modification requirements, or you can contact us at info@riv.ca or 1-888-848-8240.
Contact the original equipment manufacturer or authorized dealer of your vehicle to obtain a recall clearance letter. You must have this document in order to pass the federal inspection.
Obtain information from the manufacturer or authorized dealer on costs and availability of parts for the required modifications. Some manufacturers require an authorized dealer perform the modifications. Remember that the costs of the mocifications are your responsibility.
Determine additional costs, such as duty and taxes. Canada Border Services Agency, responsible for assessing and collecting duties and taxes, can be reached at 1-800-461-9999 (in Canada) or (506) 636-5064 (outside Canada).
Make sure you have the required documentation: title documents, registration, sales receipts, statement of compliance label and manufacturer's recall clearance letter.
Find out about any additional provincial or territorial requirements, such as safety inspections and emissions tests.
Arrange for insurance on your vehicle.
U.S. Customs requires notification of all self-propelled vehicles being permanently exported from the United States. Their regulations state that at land border points:
1. The required documentation must be submitted to U.S. Customs at least 72 hours prior to export; and
2. The vehicle must be presented to U.S. Customs at the time of export.
U.S. Customs recommends that you contact the port of crossing directly to determine exact documentation requirements and hours of operation.
If you are importing a trailer, you may call RIV to have your Vehicle Identification Number verified ahead of time.
What to do
at the border

Produce your title documents, registration and sales receipts.
Complete Vehicle Import Form – Form 1, which Canada Border Services Agency will provide. This requires a Canadian mailing address. This form must be kept in the vehicle until it is licensed.
Canada Border Services Agency will check your vehicle against Transport Canada's List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States. They will also verify the public VIN and manufacturer's statement of compliance label on the vehicle to make sure they match.
Canada Border Services Agency will collect your nonrefundable Registrar of Imported Vehicles' fee of $209 in all provinces except Quebec where it is $224.
Payment for the RIV fee may be made directly to Canada Border Services Agency with any major credit card. Canada Border Services Agency does not accept cash or cheques for the RIV fee. If you wish to pay by cheque or money order, Canada Border Services Agency will provide you with a payment envelope which must be mailed to the Registrar of Imported Vehicles. Please note that all personal cheques will be held for ten business days in order to allow them to clear the bank. This will use up a portion of your 45 day time limit.
Remember that payment of fees and receipt of the Vehicle Import Form – Form 1 does not warrant that your vehicle is capable of being brought into conformity with all applicable federal and provincial or territorial laws.
The Registrar of Imported Vehicles will not issue a federal inspection form or any specific modification information for a vehicle with an unpaid file. It is important that you do not proceed with any modificaitons on your vehicle until you receive this federal inspection form. If the file remains unpaid for 14 days after importation, we will send the importer a reminder of notice.


What to do
after the vehicle enters Canada



Within 10 days, you'll receive a letter from RIV with your inspection document (Form 2) which details what must be done to bring your vehicle into compliance.
It is your responsibility to complete the necessary modifications within 45 days. You may have the modifications done by the mechanic or garage of your choice. However, we recommend that you contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer to discuss appropriate parts or warranty issues. Make sure you keep receipts for parts and labour, to present at the inspection, along with Form 1, Form 2 and the recall clearance letter.
The RIV has contracted with Canadian Tire, with 430 locations across Canada, to perform our federal inspections. In many cases, Canadian Tire can perform certain modification work, as well as performing the provincial inspection.
When you pass the inspection, the inspection centre will stamp your Form 1, that you will have to present to the provincial or territorial licensing authority, which may require additional testing.
Within approximately one week of passing the federal inspection, we will send you a new Canadian Certification label with instructions on where to affix it to your vehicle.
If the vehicle fails the inspection, you'll have to pay additional charges for another inspection.



If the vehicle cannot pass the inspection within the 45 days, it will have to be exported back to the United States.

Neal: The extra fees are moot. The Tiburon was made for Canada as well, and meets all Canadian standards. The vehicle is less than 5 years old, so all recall documentation will be available from the manufacturer when he registers the VIN # to his name in Ontario.

The fees are applicable if the car is like, a GTO, or some such that was never sold in Canada, but would pass collision standards.

^^^ fine, i will go back to posting sarcasm and ridicule, instead of trying to help



Re: what to you guys think of the price of this ca

I <3 teh Neal

It's useful but in this case, the only time you'd see extra fees is if the car was imported into the US from another country and then modified. They're basically charging you to verify the paper trail.

Sarcasm is always welcome.
Ridicule is accepted, but only if it's been washed and dried before-hand.
