How to import cars from Japan to Canada?

How easy is it to import used cars from canada?

  • My wife and I are discussing options for buying a second car.we currently have 1 daily driver.We are in Michigan and all the cheaper cars here are rusty.We are near Detroit, about 25 minutes from Ontario, and I notice many Ontario cars that are much nicer.Apparently they use more effective rust-proofing there and the yearly safety inspections ensure the cars are better cared-for. I am considering buying a car there. How easy is it to bring a used car across the border? What kind of inspections or paperwork will be needed? Will it need to be registered prior to bringing it over. My idea would be to drive it home since it would likely be less than a half-hour drive anyway.Is it worth it or is this too difficult and expensive to bother with?

  • Answer:

    Forget about it. The cost of converting it to US safety and emissions specs would be prohibitive, even for the cars that can be converted.

I also live in Mi and after buying a car in Canada and filling out the "required" paper work I still couldn't get my car to my country. I finally gave up and re sold it to someone in Canada through a friend
