Oh Canada! Thine Imports May Bring Grief

In the world of the ever-changing exchange rate, the Canadian dollar buys more and more in the "Lower 48." How about bringing back a nice motorhome, or even a "toad car"? Best hold on, eh? Just because that vehicle can fly down the streets of Laredo, doesn't mean it'll get back to home in Toronto. Purchasing is one thing, but importing is entirely another. A recent article in the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix points up the story of the Toronto chiropractor who thought he'd cut a great deal on a Mercedes, until he found he couldn't bring it back home. While his problem was with four wheels, there are plenty of motorhomes that Maple Leaf authorities won't let Canadian's import. Check out the story, complete with information on how to find out if the motorhome or dingy of your dreams can meet the test of Canada's motor vehicle importation laws.
