[QUOTE="Ntmd8r, post: 5437, member: 45"] You can import any vehicle from the US, as long as it complies with our Federal regulations regarding requirements (DRLs, etc.) Your best bet is to visit the Canadian Gov't website, and check out the regs, to see if the car you are considering does/can comply. For example, until June of last year (2008), all Corvettes 2005 or newer had to have bumper "shock-absorber" (styrofoam) installed, AND (for 2008 and newer), they had to have a SPECIFIC type of Immobilizer installed (the ones installed in US Corvettes did NOT comply... and you could NOT retro-fit the Canadian Immobilizer). Fortunately, saner heads prevailed, and after June 26 (I think) of 2008, those restrictions were lifted. I brought my 2007 up from the US in August 2008, and did not have to worry about those things. But I know guys who brought theirs up before June, and they DID have to comply. In any event, my best advice is to GET/USE a BROKER !!!!! This will save you all/any hassles, and everything will be done "by the book". [/QUOTE]
