Having done this Joe I can give you a few pointers.
If you want to PM me your number, we can talk...
The mileage is 7,500 miles or 12,000 km before GM Canada will provide you warranty coverage

And it has to have been in service for 6 months. If not you have to drive it until you have the 12K or the 6 months before you can get warranty.
Good luck!

Just to clarify. Legally there is NO milage or age restriction. You can in fact legally import a brand new car.
Both age and millage restrictions are imposed by GM Canada.
Check out the website hxxtp://www.carswithoutborders.com/ for additional info on importing to Canada

I don't mean to hijack the thread... but I am looking into importing an older Vette (68-72) and found some info regarding Excise Tax on Fuel_Inefficient cars.
"The excise tax on fuel-inefficient vehicles is calculated on the basis of the weighted average fuel consumption rating as determined in accordance with information published by Natural Resources Canada. For purposes of this tax, the weighted average fuel consumption rating is calculated by combining 55% of the city fuel consumption rating with 45% of the highway fuel consumption rating. Automobiles that have a weighted average fuel consumption rating of 13 or more litres per 100 kilometres will be subject to the excise tax at the following rates:
•at least 13 but less than 14 litres per 100 kilometres, $1,000;
•at least 14 but less than 15 litres per 100 kilometres, $2,000;
•at least 15 but less than 16 litres per 100 kilometres, $3,000; and
•16 or more litres per 100 kilometres, $4,000."
The older Vettes have around 12-15 mpg rating. Does this mean, I will have to pay $4,000!!!!

*NB The car won't pass inpsection if the accesories don't work. Make sure you have functional 4 ways and window washers. My AZ car did not and took me a month to get her legal.
