The Official CDN Importing A Car Thread! www.riv.ca

then you certainly are not importing one then.

 

Anybody knows how many Ferrari the canadian dealers are allocated per year?

 

as many as are ordered?

 

so you get all your US spec cars inspected at canadian tire?

 

correct, i don't leave them there though I have one of my guys go and wait for them to get done.
Also with us having done probably close to 200 vehicles by now they now us very well and do ours right away.

 

James....

Same with my CT store as well, great service...........they do it while I have a coffee......the car never moves 1 foot from where I parked it. It's a no brainer 15 minute deal.

ac schnauzer.....

As for your relevant provincial licensing/certification inspection however, which in Alberta involves a road test and more, you can make the call as to where you go.......but CT is mandatory for RIV as already pointed out.

 

James is Right, FED inspec is don at cdn tire

 

Perphaps but for some reason I always thought they were limited. The above post that states that one "can still order one at FoO" and the one that says that "if you are in vancouver then i don't believe you can order till like a year or two" seems to lend credence to my belief.

But then again, you could very well be right.

 

Canada not having the demand like the US on the 430's?

 

My 2,000 Km F430 is for sale 2005.

Options that cost (approx only), not incl taxes $16,000 f1, fender shields $2,500, leather roof liner $ 1,000. seat piping (red), with black seats $1,000, freight prep gas tax $10,000.

Take over lease or purchase.

No flakes or poseurs, thank you.

There's a Toyota dealer in Calgary that is authorized for the RIV inspection. If you're dead against CT for whatever reason, I would imagine there has to be an altenative in TO.

 

Interesting

 

Alittle high.

 

y import
there is on at FoO right now
Silver

 

whoa!!

 

James, if the math is based on YOUR figures, I am not a little high, rather a little low. This assumes your figure on the F1 package is $2000 more than I quoted.

 

i didn't do that a mod changed what i really wrote.

 

Is this something new? I brought in a car from the US about 10 years back and I had the inspection done at some Jaguar dealership if I recall correctly.

 

come on zak are you serious? i think you are smoking too much weed.

 

Wish you luck and will be interested in hearing how it goes.

Just for sake of discussion, what kind of math have you done to suggest importing a CS from the US will be relatively good value.

1) estimated purchase price you expect to pay
2) exchange rate
3) taxes in prov. where you live
4) visit to see it, bring it back
5) any conversion costs involved
6) potential "down the road" price adjustment if sold in Canada as a US car

Am asking these questions because the CS market in the US has gotten pretty tight lately and I'm not sure about the "cost" advantage of bringing one into Canada.

 

No worries, James....hey you may very well be the one who ends up selling my car!

Carlo

 

Any guesses which one???

 

that would be great, not really in the business of holding out for that retail money now a day's if you want someone to cut you a cheque for it then i'm your man.

 

I beleive my brother told me he paid $265,000 for his 2005 F430 with F1 transmission and shields. Don't beleive that crap about being on a waiting list, show them the money, and they'll get you a car. My brother never owned a Ferrari before and he ended up with either the 2nd or 3rd F430 that was sold in Toronto. I was on a waiting list for the first spider, and when I changed my mind and asked for my deposit back, they were not very happy to say the least.

 

LOL, they are NEVER too happy with you eh?
