Is this an American or European import - different rules for both.

The 15 year rule is 15 years and OLDER from outside of the USA.

US vehicles are a different story.  There is no age limitation, you have to
make sure they are on the list of eligible vehicles and perform the
Transport Canada mods necessary before you can register it.

Subject: importation of an '84 into canada, and selling a different car?

Does anyone know what the best way to go about
registering a couple vehicles in Vancouver, Canada is?
 The main concern is my '84 westy.  Supposedly, Canada
only allows cars 15 years old or younger into the
country, which mine obviously isn't.  What's the scoop
here?  Find a state to "live" in and keep it
registered there?

The other car is a '98 honda civic hx, which we are
planning on selling very soon.  Should we even bother
trying to sell a U.S. spec car in Canada?  This
particular model was never even sold in Canada, i
think.  Or should we focus our efforts on Washington
state?  That whole miles/Km makes it a bit harder to
sell up here, it seems...

Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
-Damon
