importing used to Canada
Ok I read through the posts and am more confused than ever.
I am looking for a used Porsche Boxster 2000 and have noticed some from cars.com, autotrader, Ebay and craiglist. Cars here In Montreal run in the 20-25k range while in the states there are lots in the 14-16k range. Some of the best deals are from private but some really almost too good to be true deals from texas especially a place called merchants.com. 16K + 6.1% duty + +-$1000 trasport + GST and QST +$195 for RIV fees, still a lot cheaper than buying locally. Is there a complete how to on buying across the border? Already looked at RIV.ca Here are my questions: Is there a broker that can search and take care of everything for a fee? If I do it myself, how can I make sure I don't send money (either deposit or final payment) to a private or dealer and never see a car? Even on Ebay most sellers don't accept Paypal for cars(too expensive I guess) How do I protect myself to make sure the car previous owner does not still owe money on it? Sales taxes, Is there a way to pay the least possible? Are there any states where you have to pay there then again at the border? I have a very trustworthy cousin in New Jersey, any way to use that to my advantage? For transport especially from places like Texas or California(far away) Is it much cheaper to get the car to the Closest Canadian border or can I get it delivered directly to my house after completing border papers? Too good to be true deals: If car passes carfax and seller says there are no problems with the car, no dents or scratches and interior is very clean, any horror stories of getting the car and it was all bull? If so any protection available? If from New Jersey or New York I can get my cousin to look at it? Am I missing anything? Buying new from US seems easier since you are dealing with big dealers but private dealers or privates seems a little scary.... Please advise needed before I take plunge. |
