Fwiw, I exported my BMW from the US to Canada last year and what this generated was sufficient (YMMV): just enter your VIN and it confirms how many (if any) recalls are open.

Super easy, our standards are homogenous nowadays, zero issue eligibility wise.

The 18.1% of taxes and duties for a foreign made vehicle in addition to the shit exchange rate will cripple anything you thought was a deal though.

$70,000 USD car = $98,000 CAD x 1.181 taxes = $115,738... call it $116,000 with the Broker fees / AC levy / inspection fee. Ouch.

you are one of the few people that I know, who still scour CL for good buys. But maybe because you are, you're able to find the hidden gems. Most people put up with the crappy search functions on FB Marketplace. I actually preferred CL!
