Hi all
I have been browsing the forum for a few days and have found very little information on importing an US Leaf to Canada. Not sure why, but there are very few used Leafs available ilocally and the few that are, seem to be be quite a bit more expensive than the U.S. equivalent, even factoring in our falling dollar
Has anyone done this successfully ?
The way I read the Transport Canada import list, it is permissible assuming the daylight running light are reprogrammed. If anyone has any info, I would much appreciate it. For instance
1) Warranty- My understanding is as long as the car had been registered in the US for 6 months, this is not an issue
2) Wings - Don't appear to work but not a major issue for me
3) Metric guages - Apparently guages can be switched easily
4) Approved List for Import (Transport Canada) - I believe it is permissible assuming the running lights get reprogrammed to on. Must this be done at the dealer or is just a fuse. What cost
5) Maps - Is Canada included in the US version ?
6) Dealers - Do they typically know what paperwork is required. I assume I would need to pay cash No ?
Any addition caveats and gotcha's people have encountered. Btw, I'm in Montreal so would be looking in the Upper New York State/Vermont area for a vehicle.
Thanks all
Dave
