Heads Up for Canadians importing from US

jnmontario · 02-06-2008, 09:31 PM

Great thread on RedFlagDeals about importing vehicles.

Auto - WOW ---- New cars from US up to 30% cheaper (cost to import under $200) - RedFlagDeals.com Forums (VERY long to warn you, 12,000+ posts and 1.5 million view) but VERY good info in there about bringing US vehicles into Canada. I'm bringing my first US vehicle into Canada (2007 Prius - my first one now that highway mileage is as good as city mileage...yay!)

also Main Page - Carburner great resource for importing ANY car into canada.

ok, understood, thanks. i was a little suprised that the PST rebate applies to used cars as well. this is great, actually.

Could someone clarify this - if I buy a used Prius in Ontario privately, is there a RST rebate? i.e. will it mean that i basically pay no taxes?

The Federal rebates only apply to new cars. It's assumed the rebate has already been paid when the car was sold new. If you're talking of the Ontario Govt. rebate, check with them to be sure, but I'd suspect the above applies as well.
