Selling a car to Canada

Ok, how do you sell a car to person in Canada! I am only less than 100 miles from the Peace bridge. First it is a 1933 Willy's glass car with a Willy's vin. number Built in 1996-1997. It was built in New York and has the New York registration. Is there transport company or export company. Need help.

 

You have the buyer give you the money in cash, and they take care of the rest.

 

Yes ... cash is probably the best ... and give the purchaser a clean ownership and bill of sale ...

The buyer will have to follow the RIV (Registrar of Imported Vehicles) process ... basically present the proper documentation 72 hours prior to crossing the border ...

For the full details ...

Tell the buyer to come and get it.
Let him worry about the details.

 

I agree, the buyer deals with the importation.

Same as if a Cdn car was going to the 'states from Canada. I'd take your cash and let you deal with the US Customs on the way back.

 

Ive bought plenty of vehicles and brought them to Canada.

Go to http://www.riv.ca . Pay attention to the list of vehicles which can be imported. Your glass car probably does not qualify.

The onus is on the buyer to do all the paperwork. You must have a title to bring the vehicle across the border and you must present the info to US customs 72 hr prior to export. RIV charges a fee, but cars over 15 years old are exempt from the RIV program.

As a seller, there is no problem selling to a Canadian buyer, just make sure your bank will process any Canadian payment. Cash is always good, but it is not reasonable to expect anyone to carry any serious amount without an armed guard.

 

Thanks will chwck out that web-site!

 

nice 36' plymouth by the way. good to see that staying here.

 

Yep! 36 is staying put. And it's about ready for the paint shop.

 

I used SM Hewitt as a broker and Oakwood Transport to haul the car. I would highly recommend both.

The broker deals with all the customs stuff. I think it cost $150. Not including transport.

First off - what is the car titled as? 1933 Willys? Or a 1996 kit car? If its registered as a 1996 kit car, don't sell it to a canadian because there will be lots of problems for them to get it registered. The car having a transferable registration makes it a lot easier to get a car over to begin with.

If its registered as a 1933 Willys, then you are fine, and they Canadian buyer can simply bring it over the boarder after faxing in a copy of the Ownership, Bill of sale, and a date they are going to be bringing it over 72 hours in advance - and make sure they fax it to the correct boarder crossing and pay attention to the hours of operation of the Export office!

You do not need to involve the Registar of Imported Vehicles (RIV). Also make sure you give the new owner the NYS required forms for a change of ownership, properly filled out. I believe they are MV50, or MV51. They may or may not ask to see these at the boarder.

Make sure the actual purchase price is on the bill of sale so Canada Customs can properly tax the car. Otherwise it can get nasty.

Let the buyer figure out transport.

 

Having bought and sold a number of cars online, though admittedly none over federal borders...

I would have to agree with the comments above regarding WHOSE responsibility this is. I would not even consider getting involved in this. Let the new owner take care of it. If he has problems, they are HIS problems. He should not proceed without caution, but if he does then that is his business and he can figure out where to go from there.

Any recommendations or assistance you provide could come back to haunt you.

Stay out of it and let the buyer figure it out.

Either way, GOOD LUCK!
