Importing from US

Hi,

I imported my 09 Z from the US (Davenport Iowa). I used a broker from a company called US Auto Imports (Derek Collini was the contact). Basically I found the car online...I searched cars.com and autotrader.com within 500 miles of the buffalo boarder (I live in Toronto)...the closer the better. Once I found the car, I called Derek and he told me what to do step by step. Bascially you buy the car from the dealer (I wired the money), Call Derek, give him the information he needs, wait 2 weeks with updates along the way, then pick the car up in St.Catherines, licensed, registered and ready to go - Derek...or another broker takes over after you purhcase the vehicle. His services are $850 if I remember correctly...plus duty, registration, "canadianization", and all that good stuff....I ended up saving roughly $6-8 thousand by going through the US.

I don't usually post, but I thought some of that information may help...I'll check back if you have any questions.

Bruno
