This article looks at buying a used vehicle imported from U.S both
from a dealer and from a private sale.

You have probably made a purchase online recently not evening thinking
twice about the process, if you can trust to purchase everyday items
online would you trust purchase a vehicle without seeing it in person?
The allure of U.S vehicles is obvious, not only the are priced cheaper
right from the manufacture but due to recent rise of Canadian dollar
it is a very attractive option to consider. There is nothing wrong
with purchasing an U.S vehicle imported to Canada, there are few
things you should consider before making this decision though. First
of all is this imported vehicle been modified up to Canadian standard?
Due to different regulations between the two countries, U.S vehicle
does not require to have day time running light, rear child seat
anchors, and different speedometer. To modify the vehicle is
relatively easy by changing few small parts, and you can do it even at
your local Canadian Tire store.

It doesn't make sense for you to buy an U.S vehicle if you are
purchasing a vehicle less than $30,000, the price discrepancy between
the two countries doesn't offer enough incentive for you to go through
all the trouble. U.S vehicles are typically 30-40% cheaper compare to
their Canadian counter part; it makes sense for you to purchase
something expensive and exotic so you can benefit from the savings. If
you currently own an U.S vehicle you may encounter a problem when you
are trying to sell the vehicle in the future. Generally speaking an
U.S vehicle will be re-sold for lot less when it comes to re-sale
value.

If you are looking to make a profit from importing U.S vehicles it may
not be as simple as it sounds. Canadian dealers will typically offer
only 50% of the trade in value once they know the vehicle came from
U.S. If you are trying to profit from importing vehicles for resale
purposes you should definitely reconsider before investing your hard
earned money foolishly. If you are able to find a good deal on an U.S
vehicle with required modifications already done, you will save
yourself valuable time and effort. In conclusion if you are trying to
purchase an U.S vehicle it is better for you to buy it from a dealer
where you can go back to if a problem ever come up.
