Are US dealers allowed to sell new cars for export to Canada?

 

I doubt it.

 

Yes. The Canadian customer isn't eligible for any Ford rebates or incentives though. The paperwork has to clear customs (about a 72 hour process) and then the car can be brought into Canada. This website has all the information you should need: http://www.riv.ca/ . I work for a dealer in Upstate New York and we have done quite a few Canadian sales.

 

Thanks.

Lpauto.ca does all the work for you and seems really reasonable. I was thinking about getting my next car through them.

 

Yep what he said, and he'll be getting a phone call from me probably next week for a deposit. '69 is sold Paul, so the coast is clear. Still debating ( in my head and with SWMBO) whether i should go with a vert or coupe. Decisions, decisions.

 

2011 Mustang not on riv admissible list.

 

Self importation of new vehicle is pretty easy.

 

Dont get a convertible unless you have a secure place to keep it indoors overnight...Guess how I know?

 

The CAD dollar is at par with the USD and it looks like it'll be that way for a while, time for Ford to match the CAD prices to the US ones!

 

tttt

 

No joke! I wrote to them and got their automated response over US/CAN pricing... the GT is $5000 more expensive in Canada.

 

It's early yet, the car hasn't even hit the lots. The current document is dated March 18th, the new models should appear soon. Jaguar is listed to 2011 as a new change in the current version of the document. I do hope that we won't come across any surprises though. I had checked into upcoming changes in safety regs. I believe there's one for door latches as of 2011, but I would presume Ford took care of it with the 2010.

 

Does anyone know if we pay the state tax for importing into Canada? Say, Ny purchase do we pay the sales tax in Ny?

 

Those like me that have a place to order in the U.S , in my case N-Y State, have to wait for Transport Canada to list up the 2011 Mustang on the registered imported vehicle registry. And as of March 19th, it is not listed. So therefore i cant't do a freakin' thing about it. Can't give a deposit nor pre-order the car i want. Hope your reading this Paul. Let's just hope when production hits full gear that they will list it up for importation. Anyone knows when the 2010 showed up on the list ?
As far as state tax is concerned, well it all depends on which state you buy it from. N-Y doesn't have any , but PA has a 6% state tax for exporting a car out of the country.

 

To follow up on what montreal ponies wrote, it is likely possible to get the state tax refunded if you can demonstrate that the car is being purchased by an out of state customer. Check first with the dealer, then with the state government if needed.

 

Thanks Dan. So the best place to order would be States with no sales tax. Ny, I thought they had a sales tax. Learn something new everyday...

Good luck on your purchase down South. Let us know how it goes and what extra you had to pay to get it home..Thanks again Dan...

 

No problemo fellow canuck. Let's just hope that the RIV list it up as soon as production starts. Gotta a great seller in N-Y, he's just a phone call away and a nice 6 hour drive away as well.
