sounds like it is a little different in manitoba. I dont know for sure if they accept cash. I just made sure I have a high enough limit on my credit card and used that instead.

you pay your tax at the border and credit card or cheque works for them.

- When arriving at the border, you must stop at the US Customs first.

they don't have to hold your car for 72 hours. they need the title at US customs 72 hrs before you arrive there. This allows them time to do a background search on the car and make sure there are no liens on the car before they allow it to leave the country. If you show up earlier than that they won't let you cross, but after 72 hrs you simply have to stop and show them the title and they'll stamp it and send you on your merry way.

Hey can anyone recommend a place that does DRL installs so its just like a Canadian model S2000?

I took my car to T&T Honda to get them to do it and they did a half ass job. The parking lights come on which is fine by me but now the interior lights think its night time all the time and they all light up making it hard to read during the day, and the instrument cluster used to dim at night well its dim now, dim all the time so I have to manually brighten it up by holding the + button then at night the - button. Also the tail lights are always on now, *sigh*

damn, so many of you guys buying cars from the US.
I'm still trying to sell my S2000 but I'm having second thoughts now.

I wonder how much a 2002 E55 AMG would sell there in Alberta.
40k miles with every option available for that model year.
Does anyone have any idea on the price?

thanks,
B

Do they look just like an OEM Canadian S2000 now? With the high beams on a low intensity or is it the parking lights that come on. Are your tail lights on all the time now?
