In Canada, I can lend my vehicle to anyone with a driver's license. He can then drive it in the states and, in case of an accident, my insurance policy will cover everything. I assume, it would work the same way. Maybe I am wrong. I have to ask this one guy that i know. He is driving around in a Cayenne Turbo with Florida plates.

Does that mean that I cannot give my American friend money to buy a car, pay all state taxes, register it in his name, then just drive it to Canada and continue using it with US plates under his name? Its illegal to "lend" your friend money? It's illegal to "borrow" his car for a "few" months? If the car is registered to an American citizen, how can CRA keep it?

Just wondering if that is taxable aswell? Bringing cash back (greater then $10k is it?) resulting from a sale, isn't that subject to duties? Just curious.

the border have infinite authority, to search detain or anything else, it is the one place where you are considered guilty until proven innocent.

Dumb *** ! Maybe it WAS the guy who posted on here that he wanted to cheat the Gov. out of duty fees ? Dumb ***.
That`s about as smart as driving across border, installing new wheels and tires and driving back as soon as it`s done.Do ya not think that the Customs peep`s look for this stuff ? Ah, they doooo !
I live close to that Border crossing.The Custom guys and gals there will forgive some grocery day shopping duty. Hey, they do it themselves.No booze, no smokes or weapons...? Your good to go.

I imported a C4S in 2008 and a Harley this spring. Both at Lewiston crossing and never had any troubles. US side a little grumpy, but efficient. Canadian side very friendly. In both importations was through the paper work on both sides in less than an hour. Never questioned on price, although both were purchased at dealers (Porsche and Harley dealer). In both cases had the Bill of Sale and Wire Transfer paperwork with me.
