So I flew out to Milwaukee on Saturday, just as planned. Picked up the car and started my drive back around noon. BTW that car is a blast to drive!! Between the downpour of rain I had to ge through, and the traffic jam around Chicago. I got back to the border around 10-10:30. Ya I know 10 hour drive, I survived on fast food and Monster Energy drinks. With paperwork in hand I get to the booth, feeling pretty confident about the whole thing I explain the situation about buying and wanting to export the car.
Well I have the title in hand, BUT it has the Lien holder on it as well, I have a letter directly from Ford Credit, stating that the lien has been removed and their is a zero balance owing on the car. Because I the lien company (Ford Credit) is still on the title it self, I cannot export the car. And I was denied access to Canada aswell. So long story short, the car is now parked in a secure lot with US Customs, until I can get the New title, which will be not until tuesday, Wednesday.
I made all my call, checked and double checked to make sure this thing would go smoothly, and a discrepincy between the US and Canadian side of Customs is screwing me. So by the end of the week I should have it, and all thats left is the DTRL mod I have to do. Man, what an experience.
