Importing a new U.S. vehicle into Canada

[Slick Fork]

Be careful,

This is something car manufacturers frown on. Which brand is it? I know with General Motors branded vehicles (chevrolet, GM/GMC, pontiac, buick, saturn, saab, cadillac) your issues start when you register up in Canada and are labeled as an exporter and blacklisted. This means no sales from any GM dealer ever again, than your warranty gets all screwed up and you won't have any coverage. The "Acceptable" time to bring a General Motors car up is after it has had 6 months or 12000km put on it.

The reasoning behind this is due to fluctuations in exchange rates/incentive programs. It's a protectionist policy to keep dealerships located close to the borders from losing business just because the dollar changes.

Now if the issue is unavailability in Canada, it may be a different story.
