STUNNING car, and it looks to be loaded. It certainly has the vent wings and leather.

 

Very nice. could be 104,000 who knows? But you can tell it was always inside even if it is.

 

Wow. That's nice. I like the color. This is very near me, if anyone is serious, and wants me to take a closer look.

 

has anyone here ever imported one of these wagons in to Canada? Just wondering the process and expense etc? would be heading to Fredericton New Brunswick thx

 

That is a great wagon...................and a looker!

 

That's not 104K. I'm tempted to bid on this beast. The color combo is amazing on this - steel gray with blue leather - and I can not think of another that I've seen in this combination. Gorgeous!

 

It is quite an easy process, you basically have to give the US Border people at least 48 hours notice of the importation with copies of the title etc.
They will check to ensure that all is legit, when you physically import it to Canada they will check the paperwork against the car, process you and your good to go.
You take these forms to the Canuck side, make your declaration, pay your taxes and off you go.
they may look at the car but when I did 3 years ago they didn't even look at, just pay up and off you go.

At minimum you will pay the federal tax upon entering Canada and then you provincial amount when you go to register the car into your name at home.
Also you may want to look into getting it shipped to your closest port of entry, I had mine shipped to Buffalo then drove it home from there.
If you use a shipping company to bring it to your door they will nail you on brokerage fees etc.

Here's where you can start;

Good luck

 

Holy Cow Batman! Love it. Too bad it doesn't have the dual rear seats...(posted in the q&a at the bottom of the auction listing)

 

Yeah, that is a shame.

 

Serious wagon lust. Exceptional.

Portland ME to twin falls id shortest route is 2644.52 mi
Twin Falls ID to Marietta ga is 2034.80

4679.32 Hmm ok

Dunno about Idaho but in this state when it's retitled exempt it is exceded milage or assumed because of age?

Sorry I guess I missed something?
They shipped this by truck all over the USA? Portland then twin falls then Georgia? Maybe I am reading this wrong? Please explain.

Also "been in a collectors hands since virtually new"? so he got it in ME and moved to Idaho and then Georgia? or he got it in Idaho? sure is weird doncha think?

 

If you intend to keep the mileage low, I could see it for an obsessive owner. Stranger things have happened...like 1.7 mile Impala wagons.

 

Yes absolutely but they never left possession or Nebraska

 

thx Bpinsent - am thinking on it - so 100,000 miles is the question - did they happen or not?
