Buying A New/used Car
#27
I don't know if this is what you want in a Subbie.......but here are a couple of 2002's in the $13000US range.

What I would suggest is one of two things. First, I told you I had a friend who bought a car and just brought it into Canada. So he has given me alot of pointers and information. He was able to hook up with a dealer in Texas??? who goes to the big auction in Orlando every week. He called him mid auction and they went thru the bidding process live while it was going on. He found him several cars to bid on and they went from there according to colour, mileage and maximum price until he got the car he wanted. I think he charged him around $750US for the service. He then hoppend on a plane and to Orlando, went on a mini vacation and drove the car back.
He was a little disallusioned with the process as he wasn't able to see or test the car out prior to purchasing it, but it still worked out well for him as the car is mint. You may want to try and find a dealer up northern NY state and let them know what your looking for. But absolutely do not pay the taxes in NY state as the vehicle will not be licensed in that state. They may try and get you to pay the taxes, and if they do, walk away from the dealer as this, IMO is just a scam.
You have to make an appointment to bring the car back over the border. 72 hours notice I believe before you bring the car over you have to fax the information on the car. Once you get to the border, you have to pay any duties if the car is not made in North America. Typically 6% of the purchase price. If the car is made in North America then there is no duty. You then have to pay PST on the car and can opt to pay at the border or pay when you go to register the car. They'll give you a pamphlet at the border as to the next steps in getting the car roadworthy in Canada. A $250?? will be assessed to you at the border.
You'll need to have the car e-tested, certified and an Office of the Rigistrar of Imported vehicles.
I took about a week once over the border to get everything sorted out, and he found Can. Tire to be the easiest and best source for getting things done smoothly.

And more questions and I will do a follow up with my buddy. But he is away right now on another bloody vacation.
TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.

One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.
