importing a car from canada to the us

[SFRT]

anyone done it? is it a nightmare?

I did it three years ago. They have a document which is like the title. Get a bill of sale. Youdo have to go thru customs and get the vehicle inspected. They want to know all of the places on the body where the VIN is stamped or shown (US customs). You can pay someone to do this for about $250 I think.

A few extra steps. But do-able.

Supposedly easier to import if the car is 25 years or older.  Read that somewhere.

When I went up to Abbotsford, B.C. to buy my Bee the dude at the gate mentioned he remembered seeing the car come up through there a couple months prior and said it looked good.  I just agreed with him, I didn't know better.  He said have a nice day and off I went. 

I didn't know I was suppose to check it in w/ customs as buying it up there.  I had to set up an appointment at the Port down in Portland and have it gone over telling them/showing bill of sale.

Other than that, it was a piece of cake.
