is this a policy for every dealer in usa ? I guess I am gonna have to buy it privately then.

Oh yeah, :iagree:

Even if he buys the car there and drives it off the lot it's still not allowed?

He has to fill out paperwork with a DL and address.

Yes, Nissan tracks ports and if a US vin pops up they will fine the dealer, because a foreign (canadian) dealer can't compete with the exchange rate

Is this with every dealer in the us ?

Sure sounds like it.

Here's a Nismo for sale...lol... all boosted too :)

Sorry jit13 .. can't really help out this time. Maybe some other stealership might wanna take the risk.

Beaverton Nissan in portland will sell to me but they seem like bullshitters + pushy when I talked to them on the phone.. first she said my warranty will be fine (in canada) even tho I researched and it will not.. + she said its $42,000 and non negotiable.

I found this tho regarding warranty

"If you purchase the vehicle brand new in the US, you MUST register it in the US, before you import it to Canada. When you import it to Canada, you are restricted from selling the vehicle for 6 months. If you sell the vehicle within 6 months, the new buyer will not get the warranty."


Im confused on this how do I reg in the us and still import it over to canada and insure with icbc (our insurance place) ?? or does it mean i have to reg in the us and leave it there for 6 months lol ?

Looks like these rules (laws?) are trying to prevent a dealer from selling a new us spec car to someone bringing it directly to Canada. But not stop a individual from selling it as a used car.

Your warranty will be voided in US, not positive about canada

ok thanks.


I am just going to wait a bit until i find a used 2010 nismo thats been reg for 6 months this way i have warranty.

I think that you might be misinterpreting this statement. The purpose of this statement, as I understand, is to deter dealerships from selling new cars to Canada for the reasons that Fusz has stated (the exchange rate, unable to complete, Nissan Co. does not want this). The requirements to title the car before selling it diminishes the value of a new car to a used car instantly, so that makes it unattractive to dealerships to try and export cars to Canada. However, it seems that if the car has been titled in the United States (therefore it is now used), that it can be imported to Canada in which case the buyer in Canada cannot sell the car for 6 (six) months without a loss of warranty. I do not believe it has anything to do with the car being registered in the United States for six months. The six month window of time, along with the requirement to title a car, serves only to stop U.S. dealerships from exporting new cars to Canada and then selling them as new cars over there.

I am going to call nissan na tomoro about this to be sure thanks tho.

btw a brand new 370z coupe (White) with the sport and navi package costs $54,724.16 after taxes lol...

the 40th anniversary costs $56,068.16 after taxes..

no wonder they make it so hard to import them over.

Hi Jit13,
How did you make out with the importing? I'm in the same boat and looking for a good deal from our southern neighbours. Best deal I've found up here is $45,3K for sport & nav.
