Do some reading before you buy in the US and bring into Canada. New doesn't come into Canada well. Plus you will have duty on top of the taxes.

hey
sorry when i originally made the post i was running out the door at the same time. ok..so i have an american address in ft lauderdale but am canadian. i want to get info on purchasing the car, getting florida car insurance and bring it back to canada for the summers and for the winters it'll be in florida. i plan on keeping fla plates on the car at all times.
anyone done something similar?
the price of the car is about 20grand difference!

This cannot be done. If a car in owned by a Canadian, they have 3 weeks to register the vehicle in the province they live.

I looked into this as well; my parents own a home in Florida.

Apparently if you get caught it’s a big fine because at that point it would be considered an illegal vehicle. I than said well how are they going to know how long I have the vehicle in Canada for??? Wellll when you come across the border in a US car with Canadian ID the border guards look into it a lot more.

Sorry to burst your bubble, mine was too :(

If the Florida address is your main place of living you shouldn't have a problem. I doubt they would tax you for going into Canada for 6 months or less with a car if your main address is in Florida and your are a Canadian citizen

They will!

I looked into when I bought my Z. You cannot bring a US car here for more than 3 weeks if you are a Canadian Citizen.

This is what I wanted to do when I was buying mine. I just wanted it for the no front plates... The tax didn't hurt either

I live in the United States and I have brought a New car into Canada for more than 3 weeks. Its not were you are a citizen of its were you are a resident of. If that was the case when I go to Canada every summer I would have to pay tax on my car? that makes no sense and has never happened to me.

He lives in Toronto......................... I would assume this means he works in Canada which would make him a resident...

I am telling you I called the MTO and this is the information I got. If he lives and works in Canada he needs to register the car ASAP or it would be considered an illegal vehicle.

If you could just drive a US car in Canada no one would EVER register the vehicle in Canada.

1. I don’t have to pay Canadian Taxes
2. I don’t need to pay the marked up Canadian prices
3. Florida = no front plates.

There is a reason why driving around Canada you don’t see many Florida cars but yet every silver haired person owns property in Florida, haha.
