Buying a car in the US

[Steve Sears]

Hi Radek, another Canadian here,
I'm sure you know about all the procedures to bring the car in on this side
of the border - like chacking with www.riv.com to see if the car is
admissable, and all the taxes and papers you'll need to bring it in.
Very important, though, you MUST provide the original ownership documents to
US Customs a minimum of 72 hours in advance before showing up at the
border - if you don't, it can mean fines, seizure of the car and your rig,
etc. etc.  You want the border crossing to go as smoothly as possible in
these tense times, so contact US Customs directly to find out their
requirements for letting you out of the US.
Cheers!
