If you’re living in Canada and are looking to buy a new car, you may be looking only in your local area. While there are probably many dealerships in your area that sell good quality cars, you might actually be able to save money by purchasing your vehicle in the United States. United States car dealerships tend to be less expensive on their inventories than those in Canada, so this is definitely something to take into consideration before making any snap decisions. Buying a car in another country can be difficult, but there are a few key points you should consider when doing things this way.

One thing you’re going to want to do is to use the Internet to your immediate advantage. You should first shop around and compare prices from Canada dealerships and dealerships in the United States. Take the prices into consideration on similar cars that you’re looking at. You will probably find that buying from the United States is a lot less expensive than buying locally. Once you find a car you like, it is up to you to make sure that it is in good shape. One thing about importing a Chevy car is that you will need to buy it first before you get a chance to look at it.

Because of this, it is imperative that you know that the car is in good shape before you put money down onto it. The best way to ensure that a car is in good shape is by purchasing from a dealership and looking for either a certified used vehicle or by purchasing a brand new vehicle. Buying used cars from their owners overseas is probably not the best option for you because you may get stuck with a car that was not worth importing to your area.

Another thing you need to keep in mind are the importing fees associated with bringing the car from the United States to Canada. Some of these fees are reasonable and affordable, but sometimes they are expensive and you might as well just buy a car from a local dealer. It really is up to you to do your own research and homework concerning the prices attached to different cars. Make sure that the vehicle you’re about to buy is going to fit into your budget and will be able to be imported to your area so that you can pick it up and enjoy.

If you’re moving to the United States and would like to take your car with you, the federal government requires your car to meet specific safety and emissions guidelines prior to allowing your car to be imported into the country. Following some simple tips will make this process much easier for you.

Become Familiar with EPA Emissions Requirements

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) puts every vehicle through a series of laboratory tests to determine the emissions rating for that particular car. You will be required to fill out a form giving the exact details of your vehicle including manufacture date, manufacture location and VIN number.

The EPA also provides specific guidelines on what vehicles are exempt and on how to import your vehicle to the United States on their website.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Your vehicle must also meet specific safety requirements including bumper standards. The NHTSA will have different safety requirements for different vehicles from varied countries. Before you begin the process of importing your vehicle to the United States, check the faqs page on their website for country specific information.

Customs Fees

Depending on your situation, you may need to pay customs fees, which range from 2.5 percent to 25 percent. The percentage is based on the value of the vehicle. Be sure that you have the bill of sale and registration for the car to present to customs. If you are shipping the car, you will also need the original bill of lading.

The Smog Check

Depending on what state you are moving to, you may be required to get a smog check done on your vehicle. Visit your specific state’s Department of Consumer Affairs website to determine whether or not you will need to get this done.

Things to Remember

• Government websites are a great source of information. Because the process will require you to come in contact with a number of different federal agencies, it’s best to visit their specific websites to read up on information prior to starting the process

• Make sure to clean the under carriage of your vehicle. Customs and Border Protection will do everything to ensure that no insects or vegetation are hitching a ride into the country.

• You will be required to purchase car insurance for your vehicle. It may be best to get into contact with an insurance agent prior to moving to the U.S.

If you don’t have time to complete the necessary steps, it may be a good idea for you to hire a broker to complete the paperwork and ship the vehicle for you.
