Hey I searched but the link to that particular thread does not open can someone help me on this matter. I think someone here has done it before

It's there - I've search on it before... basically to sum it up...

1. duty is 6.1% - you also have to pay GST at the border and then PST when you register the car in your province. you also have to pay other 'random' taxes like air conditioning, etc. (amounts to about $400 i believe)
2. NO warranty
3. you have to get DRL's installed to pass the federal vehicle inspection.
4. You must give the VIN of the vehicle to US customs 72 hours prior to bringing it across (not totally sure on this one)

You can thank PLYRS 3 (King of imports, from what I hear...aka "Jeebus", i think) and ZRPM for the above info.

PLYRS 3 is the jeezus of car importation

No warranty for Honda, but there is for other marks such as BMW etc...they will honor the warranty as they aren't facists.

i know you told me this yesterday....but you better call a local dealership and confirm.

i'll check the books of the 7 tonight....it should say where the warranty is honoured and where it's not.
