[QUOTE="YFCvii, post: 197775, member: 3252"] A warning flag has always waved for me on previous in-vehicle return border crossings south of the 49th. I've never tested it after being asked pretty much every time ... "Have you had any vehicle service or made modifications while on this trip?" "Have you had to replace tires?" (which leads me to other thoughts) What I now do is buy parts while in the USA and bring them back to install them on my own or by someone in Canada. This means I might pay GST at the border but it avoids the question of whether improvements made, increases the value of the vehicle. I've been lead to believe that the answer to that question is what might open a can of worms. So I can add that when I bring parts back from the USA, any increased value that may come into play ... will not come into play. Some people are good just to be tight-lipped when crossing the border ... but I appear to have a "liar light" that flashes on my forehead. My Mother and my Wife can clearly see it when flashing ... and I take no chance that there might be a third person on earth who can also see it. :angelic: [ATTACH type="full" alt="tenor.gif"]37124[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
