Alright, it's 11 here at night and i have to go to work tomorrow at 5 :( . Anyway, i was wondering if you could import a car from say Japan (heheh) and send it to New York, get it insured, then bring it to canada, and still keep the insurance company. Will this be legal? I mean there has to be a way to import a Mitsu FTO b4 2010...

well you could do it I suppose.... if you kept insuring and registering it as an American vehicle, but as soon as they found out what you were actually doing you would be more then a little screwed when they seize your car and cancel your insurance. plus, they would never ever pay out in case of an accident unless you are a skilled negotiator.

Uhh doesn't make a lot of sense seeing as you can not import a non lhd car to the US unless it is 25 years old, unlike the canadian rule of 15 years so you would have to wait until 2020!!

But the thing is i drive up to New York every year, even buffulo. Would Customs really care about it? heck the government?

you would have to have a permanent address in the States to insure and register it there.

I think your still missing the point. Even if you did have a permanent address in the US you still could not import it as the US regulations will not allow the import of a NON-US crash tested vehicle (besides Canada) unless it is 25 years old.

importing it from japan to the states = major shipping fees
importing from states to canada = major shipping fees

Overall a bad idea, you might as well do it directly. Also, in canada, well... in ontario. You can't important new cars over, cars have to be 15 years + older. Hence all the 1990 r32's and such.

But back on topic. What you want to do is completely illegal.

driving a car into canada that is registered and insured in the states is perfectly legal. i fail to see any fraud.

jk, u arent a failure, just a n00b :D

if u still fail to believe me, call your insurance company and ask if its ok for u to get alberta insurance while spending 11 months of the year driving in toronto.

u might "fail" to get insurance coverage after even suggesting that tho haha

You live in Canada, not the USA. That's fraud.

You live in Alberta, not Sask... That's fraud

get it?


If you take the chance, that's up to you... but remember that if you ever get caught - you're fucked.

why the fuck do u think there are even different insurance regulations/laws in every province? why do u think people go thru huge hassles of out-of-province inspections, provincial vehicle registration, proof of ownership, and all that? for fun?

fuck, if u want to be an idiot, go right ahead. i did my fuckin best to help you asschumps, but sometimes u cant save people from their own idiocy :rolleyes:

you just need a sask. residence.

i could easily register, insure and license my car under my moms address and policy, because she has a legal residence in bc.

so unfortunately, you are wrong my friend. you just need to know the loopholes

do u dine and dash at restaurants and tell your friends u found a loophole? haha

exactly. Jeff is saying it CAN be done....but the intentions are fraudulant and hence, illegal.
A couple of people pointed out that it CAN be done, but if you're caught, you're fucked.

that's it.
