forgot to add, jaymez, how do you drive it in? do you purchase insurance and registration here to get an alberta plate, go over the boarder, mount it, and drive in sorta deal? im kinda confused about that part
^^^ I said in the main part that you need to visit a DMV and get exporting papers , its $15 US.
And no you cant throw a plate on it from Alberta.

^^ Yup , its normal there in the US , when they buy new cars they dont get plates for a few weeks . You just get a DMV pass.

Wow, prices have gone up. I paid US$1 for my temporary usage pass in AZ a couple years ago.
and you don't need insurance i suppose???
question:
what if the car is being brought in via train or something like that?
what if it has no motor?

Via train would be pretty much the same process , call ahead, that the car is going to be crossing the boarder , I guess you would pay a broker. Hrmm no Engine... I know there is a different rule for that - Possibly a parts car? .. Ill look into it.

Just go to the local DMV like I said before , it should cover you via Govt coverage. Im not sure how much coverage it gives but it should be enough. When I got to AB I went and got Insurance right away.

I didn't have a problem with getting insured on the vehicle. All I did was provide make, model, MY, and VIN to the insurance company. I was insured on the vehicle before I even went to pick it up. They didn't even ask for the bill of sale. Worst come to worst, one could just fax a Bill of Sale to the insurance company the second you take possession of the car.
What you purchase at the DMV isn't insurance. It's a temporay usage pass; a "temporary license plate" for transit.
^ me either. i told TD what i was doing, they had special coverage for me until i got back to canada with the car. faxed me a copy of my new pink card and that was it.
