Car 1 - yes but no other car involved... No full coverage, junked car...Car 2 BH noCar 3 BH noI was student most of the time btw. I'm sure there is some level of risk, but at the time my options were to pay ins as a young driver in NY/free car ins. cause that's how it is when you take a car from home...Not sure if border would disclose info to ins company, shouldn't there be some sort of privacy law?Now if someone already was in accident, I'd think that driving the car after that would be too risky...Anyone else??
Anyone have any experience with registering a Canadian car in the states? I have a car from Canada that's in Brooklyn and I want to change the registration over anyone have any advise on how this works?Thanks.
You need to import the car first. And NO you don't need to go to the border you can go to customs in Newark at the port.
I believe you need to get a letter from the dealer in Canada (ie Hyundai dealership for a Hyundai) saying that it complies with US safety standards. http://www.epa.gov/otaq/imports/canadian.htm
So everyone, besides me, went through process of switching Canadian car to U.S. C'mon, I've seen other Ontario cars in NY...
I think you would lose a lot of value by moving it from Canada to the US.
Are you suggesting keeping registered in Canada (and sell there eventually)? Pros/cons... discuss please...
Cars cost A LOT more money over there. So probably worth selling it there and buying something in the states.
Choice A= sell car there, buy new one here...Which is B and C??Drive car with Canadian plates in NY vs. doing the switcheroo.
Although it's done very often it really isn't a good idea to drive here long term with Canadian plates, for insurance reasons. Besides, car insurance in Canada is through the roof even for a good driver with absolutely nothing negative on his record.Also, might have trouble selling a car in the US that has a kilometer based interface.

from what I've seen insurance is way cheaper in cabada.i know some ppl who keep their Canadian plates Just for that.
Really!!! Never Happened!!Just as an example I know a 55 year old never got a ticket in his life paid for a 06 Civic $3500 a year!!! I can give you many more examples, but why waste my time.Apparently Credit Cards isn't the only thing your new to.😜(sorry couldn't resist)
apparently bc they don't need to pay 3rd party insurance on canadian plates, but I forgot how personal people take things on ddf
I can tell you from personal experience that Canadian insurance is much more expensive than in the states. I doubt your thinking you remember is more accurate.
Back in the day. I was a 20 something year old with no driving record, Canadian insurance was on my mother's name; so by me it was cheaper to insure in Canada...
