It's true sometimes it is a good deal to buy stateside, You can change the entire cluster, they are all over the place used, once installed your local P-car dealer can get it to work properly via their computers.Some say in order for the day time running lights its just a relay, I know this to be false, I have a CND 996 and i removed that relay ..cuz i dislike the drl, my high beams and rear plate lights do not work properly.

Wondering is it is costly to replace the entire cluster?

And also, I wonder if it is difficult to change the speedometer reading from mph to kph.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

You will have to add daytime running lights and its very easy to switch the digital speedo no money or tools involved.There are some other costs like shipping , cost of you flying/driving down.If its the perfect car and you don't mind a little bit of a hassel I say go for it.............I ordered a new one because in the end it was not worth the time and effort.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I found the perfect porsche that I want and I am in Canada. I wonder if there is any Canadians in this board that have imported their P car from the states. Any advice on this procedure will be much appreciated. And also, I wonder if it is difficult to change the speedometer reading from mph to kph. Thanks.
Hi First off , become a member, this site has soo much to offer.
Ok now to your question, I guess you need to ask your self a few questions, Is it the perfect car, are you willing to go look at it, and it might not be as good as a deal as you can find here. I will share with you the info i know, because i was going to do the same thing before i ordered one. Ok If your in ontario you will have to pay the PST and the GST 15%, now you will also pay 6.1% duty fee, then you will have around a $ 400.00 fee for them to make sure its up to Canadian law. You will have to add daytime running lights and its very easy to switch the digital speedo no money or tools involved.There are some other costs like shipping , cost of you flying/driving down.If its the perfect car and you don't mind a little bit of a hassel I say go for it.............I ordered a new one because in the end it was not worth the time and effort. good luck and ask away if you have any more questions.
I second that. GST and PST would have to be paid any way on the lease of the payment of the car. Even with the 6.1% duty it's worth it with some cars specially GT3's which are hard to comeby up here. I have been looking for 6 Months. Sould be able to pull the triger next spring.
Good luck

wow, thanks for the reponse iun such a short time frame. I am actually in Vancouver,BC and the reasons that lead me into buying one from the states is mainly because of the strong dollar we have and the differences are quite significant.
I know there is the 6.1 duty I have to pay but I guess my question is if it is diifficult to pass the vehicle inspection or do I have to spend a lot of money to make it conform to the Canadian standards.
The digital speedo, but it also has the mph reading on the dial, is it possible to change that to kph? Thanks again for the help.

Our $ is pretty strong at this time, but you know its only going to get stronger, so if you can wait ..wait. One of the good things about owning a porsche in canada is they do hold their value allot more the out southern neighbors
You might be able to get away with keeping the same gauge cluster and putting new (metric or km/h) gauge face plates. Check out
http://www.cargraphic.com
or search online and on eBay.
If you buy new then the cluster is stupit money, see them on ebay, or if you need help i have a source in Canada thats pretty cheap...I can help you find one.
2 places Porsche-a part....No number here.office
whaletail......same still at the office
Ill look for ya when i get home, safe bet will be around $ 400.00 cnd
Does the 6.1% alsao applies to new cars ??
Looking at Porsche webs-te you can get a base 997S at (starting) US$79,100 or CAD$ 119,000.
This is an implied rate of 1.5044 !!!! This AM it's trading at 1.1880.
So take 79,100 * 1.1880 (FX rate) * 1.061 (duty) = CAD$99,703 !!!
CAD$20k cheaper...well worth the trouble.
I agree with kilrgt the loony (nickname for the CAD$) is going up.
I'm telling you, a slighlty used 996 Turbo in the US is looking pretty darn tempting.
