Well when my sister moved to Maryland she had a relatively new Corrola and registration was so expensive that she gave it away ('cause she couldn't come here to sell it).

I wish u luck but i don't think it is easy.

I hope that helps you out a lil bit.

Actually, this is really important to me too. Especially since I live right next to the border (WA). Not to mention the great exchange rate and plentiful supply. Lemme know how this turns out okay? &nbsp;Thanks.

sweet man, thanx for the links. &nbsp;that really helps. &nbsp;i'll be sure to let ya'll know if anything gets going. thanx again. &nbsp;anybody here ever done it though?

[S13CRAVE]

no one has ever bought a car from canada? &nbsp;come on now, i swear i've heard people on here talk about it. &nbsp;or how bout and canadians who moved to the US and brought their cars? &nbsp;thanx again

Well I would post on TwinTurbo.net (http://www.twinturbo.net) and ask on there. I know that there is a guy on there that is selling his 300ZX on there and he lives in Canada and works for customs up there. So you might want to ask him. His screen name is Pure Evil and his e-mail address is [email protected] so give him a holler and maby he can tell you what is involed in it and how much $$$$ it takes. I hope you find out because I will also be looking for a car in canada since they get all the cool stuff stock.

sweet, thanx a lot man. i'll see if he can help me out and be sure to tell everyone what happens. &nbsp;Thanx again!
