Looks like it has some nice upgrades, if it was local I would be considering it.

Yep...All one would have to do is import the car into the US...Wonder what that would cost?

Looks like a good deal for a driver C4S. Might be a US car originally. Big savings on the currency exchange too.

Hello Nine! It was an original US car imported in 2004 so a lot easier to import it back I guess.

I consulted with a customs broker on this topic last week, and he said it's easy if you have a former U.S. title. I don't know how difficult it is without it. There is 2.5% duty payable on the re-import, but the exchange rate will more than take care of that.

A 49 state car will have "CO2" as part of the code on the underhood decal, but it might be tough convincing a customs official that that's what it means. They probably don't recognize Streather's book as an official source.

If the car was an original US car you will not have to pay duty. You MAY be asked for prove of US registration.

If it was an original US car it should have the emissions sticker as well.

If the car was original to Canada you would have to pay duty but a 1996 Porsche is on the list of cars that comply with US emissions standards.

You only need a broker if the vehicle is "non-conforming" otherwise it is stupid money to pay.

Here is a good place to start, follow links to EPA, etc.
