Importing from US

Hi Guys,
Just had to jump in here..... I purchased a 370Z down in Tacoma Washington, the dealer drove it up to Bellingham for me to sign the papers and take ownership.

Pretty much what everyone is saying here is true, you save big bucks purchasing one from our southern neighbours.

Two things I wanted to chime in on;
1. The DRL is simply a matter of the dealership reprogramming the ECU. Morrey Nissan in Burnaby BC did mine for $56.00(ask for Rob). Several other dealerships gave me quotes from $200 to $500.

2. After you've imported your vehicle, the warranty will be void if you sell it within six months. After that, it's fair game. Another warranty point is that when you bring your vehicle in for warranty service, the dealer will punch the VIN into the computer to check on the warranty status, which could be void if it wasn't properly registered in a state first or waited past the six month "in service" date. It could be up to the dealership's discretion whether to honour the warranty or not. But if it hasn't met the criteria to be valid, then Nissan Canada will decline the work to be performed and thus the dealership will not be paid.

my 2 cents.

Good luck importing.
