I know a few things about importing a car but I was wondering if anyone has done it recently as I'm looking at a 88 Farrari in the 25 grand range.I know it's not a hotrod but it's been in my bucket list for many years and it is a mondial which is the lowest priced one I can find.The door sticker says it meets us epa regs,has kms on the speedo anything else I should be aware of? Thanks in advance.

Call a licensed Customs Broker, they can answer everything you want to know.

Go to the "Registrar of Imported Vehicles web site,they will have all the info you need.I have imported a lot of vehicles in the past,but have never done a forign car,the main problem seems to be bumpers and seatbelts.On the U.S. side they want the title 72hrs prior to your crossing and they are open ONLY M-F 8 am to 4 pm.Then when you get to Canada they will rape your wallet for cash and then again at the licence office,its not all that bad if you can get a good deal.If you are having it sent by truck,you will have to go through a broker.

My experience is if it was made by the big 3, then there's no problem. If it's a foriegn car, you might have to jump through some more hoops.

 

On the previous post, I have never needed to send the title 72 hour before but just the VIN is what they need I think.

As long as it's more than 15 years old you should be fine
You may have to pay duty on it
You can have it shipped directly to Canada if you get a Customs broker or broker it yourself at the border
I've had cars shipped to Military Towing in Lewiston and then I pick them up there and bring them into Canada myself
Military only charges $10 a day to store a car and will receive it for free.

Vehicles not built in North America are subject to a foreign tax,,,I forget how they come up with the $$ figure but on my Japanese built Toyota it was around $200 I paid Canada customs last summer.. The guy originally had overlooked the ser# and I told him "a card laid is a card played" but he made the correction anyhow...

RIV only applies to vehicles 15 yrs and newer, older vehicles you just pay duty on them like any other purchase. You just must make sure you export it from the US before going to Canadian customs. It is a very easy process. The vin number or copy of the title must be faxed to the export office 72 hrs before exporting.
