Anyone Know about exporting a Viper into Canada??

[SRTRICKY]

Hey guys,
With all these amazing prices on these extremely low millage vipers I am considering purchasing one and bringing it into canada! Does anyone know what duty/taxes etc. would have to be paid on top of if the warrenty (extended or normal) is valid here?? Any help would be appreciated!

Don't know too much, but I sold my 2000 to someone in Canada and it wasn't a big deal. Send an email or PM to Mike Adams (he's on the board).

The model years that have seat belts attached to the floor (i.e. air bag cars) should meet Canadian occupant safety requirements. I imported a '94 from Canada to US, so I had to change from what were airbag belts (i.e. over your shoulder to the inside of the car, no roll-ups in the door) to roll-up in the door belts. I know the emissions requirements and performance are the same back then.

Check the web site http://www.riv.com
Everything is explained there.

If you want a "cheap" Viper go to Toronto.
I am from Montreal and I bought my Viper in Toronto.
Saved about 15000$CAN.
You don't need to bother yourself with importation.
But everything is relative. The US market is larger so it is normal that prices are lower.

What year are you looking at ? How cheap is cheap. Remember you will be paying GST and your local provincial tax on the conversion. If you are in Ontario and you buy private you will not have to pay the GST just the PST that is a 7% savings plus not Broker to pay, no government inspections and no waiting for you door sticker to say it is compliant. If you do decide to import it I can give you a phone number to guys that do it everyday.

Well cheap as in the cheapest one I can find around here for an 04 is about 110-115 thousand and over in the states I can get one for about 94 thousnad (thats canadian dollars)! I know I'll have to pay both taxes but still I think thats a pretty good savings even if it is about 7-8 thousand! (I can buy some nice mods with that )

It will cost a lot to ship it across the ocean all the way to Canada, I can tell you that.

Man you're kidding, right

I never kid about anything as serious as Canada and Canadians.

make sure there is no USA POTATOES in car. What is up with that?Why will customs allow anything else across except that?
