Hello all!
I'm a new member and I just found your Forum this morning. This is great! A forum for Canadians who love Corvettes! Thanks for having me here.
I own a 2006 Z06 in Lemans Blue. With not quite 12,000 Kms. Bone stock. I've owned it for about 5 years now. Sorry to say that I am currently in the process of selling it to an American buyer. I absolutely love the car but because of a growing family, I have no time to drive it. The US dollar made this very enticing.
I was wondering if any of you know anything about getting it across the border? It is the buyers responsibility to come get the car whether he has it shipped or picks it up himself. The car was originally an American car so he can take the car back duty free I believe. Does anyone know the exact steps so I can maybe help him with some guidance? He has some shipping quotes that he claims are from $2000 to $3000 USD to take the car from my door to his. I'd like to more so get info on the paperwork required to cross it into the USA. I've been told a bill of sale, and proof that the car was purchased new in the USA to avoid duty charges??? Is this true? Any help would be appreciated!!!

ALSO......
The long term goal is to acquire my Dad's 2015 Z06/Z07 Convertible when he decides to part with it! It's triple black with a manual 7-speed. Visible carbon fibre ground effects and 3LZ. I've been reading a lot of your threads about getting your hands on these cars. It seems as if AllFlash was right. Gotta have luck, be lucky, and luckier. My dad said it was a 4 month project to get his car the way he wanted it to his hands. And many times the dealer told him it wasn't going to happen.
Does anybody know the breakdown of Canadian Z06/Z07 Convertibles? Just curious. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey Blue Devil ... Your dad's car looks great...
BUT you will have to change your 'name'..
LOL

Sorry to hear you are selling your own Corvette.
Most of us have been in that situation. Family First..!
You can always get another Corvette.


Welcome to the site.

Wooooooooooooooooooooo! That is one nice car! And your C6Z sounds awesome as well! Do you have any pictures of your Z by chance?

Glad you found us! There are lots of members here that would love to help you with good Corvette Talk.
 
Thanks everyone for the input so far!
Regarding the export of my car to the US, I'd just like to be helpful to the guy buying it but I think it's best that he satisfies himself as to the requirements needs to get it over there properly. I can't be responsible for improper info that way.
Here's a couple pics of my C6Z. I'll be sad when she goes.

Wow! That looks brand new! Love the color. I imagine it'll be tough letting go of her. But, I imagine the C7Z will dry your tears quickly when you're able to get it from your dad.
 
Not sure how I missed this but welcome to the forum. Beautiful car and another waiting in the wings. Just talk your father into a GS and you will be back driving again very soon.

Again welcome.

Well it's official. The car is gone and in the new guy's hands now. TFX picked up the car on Tuesday and they did a great job. The new owner sent me a message saying that the car was incredible as I told him it was. Sad day but life goes on. When the time is right I'll be back in the seat of one of these again.
