Cars from Canada?

when buying a car from canada? what is needed to bring it to the US and register it in the U.S?

any help is greatly appreciated. looking at a lincoln on friday in vancouver, BC.

Unless things have changed,nothing. I bought a 57 210 handyman years ago and since it was American made I didn't even have to pay any border taxes. So get the title or whatever else you can and you should be good.

 

i sent one the other way and the buyer told me that canadian to u.s. transfers were easy but the u.s. to canada ones were a pain because of having to have a broker to get it out of canadian customs.

 

cool thanks for the input. headed this week to hopefully "if everything goes well" ill be the proud owner of a 53 lincoln, to go along with my 53 Ford Victoria.

 

Quite painless if you are taking it back yourself. You only need a broker if you're getting it shipped.

No Titles here in Manitoba. The registration is the ownership document which you will need along with a Bill of Sale.

Not sure what B.C. has for ownership documents.

Good luck.

 

ive had my eye on it, but im running out of parking. looks fairly solid.

bc doesnt have a "title" per say, but a registration slip. little white piece of paper.

if its a modern icbc copy, make sure its the most current. if one has been made after the one he may try to give you, there could be a hassle. there are dates on the upper portion.

if its an old typewriter version, your good to go.

 

Awesome!! Thanks the wife wants the Vic. I'm a Lincoln man myself. I wonder what he means by yard drives.
