Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

New to forum and first time Porsche buyer. I live in the state of Washington. I am curious if anyone has purchased a 996 in Canada and brought it back to the US. I'm researching customs, dmv, etc however thought it may be good to hear from someone with first hand experience. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

I have taken few from the US to Canada, 996 only requires 2 upgrades to meet our standards, one is daytime running lights and 2 is child seat belt anchors in the back. So if you take one from Canada, it will pass US standards no problem. I had to pay 6% duty at the border as the car is not made in USA so check with you local border about guidelines.

POST 3Original post

Why would you buy your Porsche in Canada. We pay a substantial markup over US cars for both new and used. That's why so many of us buy US cars and bring them here.

POST 4Original post

I agree with jonny, unless there is a particular reason to buy in Canada you are way better off buying in the US, much larger selection and better prices, I bought mine in Seattle, and couldn't have found one similar, both condition and price wise in Canada near the price I paid. just my 2$

POST 5Original post

you have to pay Each Canadian Citizen $1 to bring a Canadian Car over to the US... GL and what johnny lima said...
