I'm Canadian 
but first you need to find out couple things before you enter US & Canada, since your car is not sold in those two countries you might need some permits that will allow to drive the car to Toronto, most likely you will not be able to sell your car in Canada or US unless the car is 15 years or older..
So first thing I would contact your ministry of transportation to find out more info, they should help you out with everything,

The driving up may not be such a big deal (but I would be sure to check
with your consulate to make sure). Now going back may be a different matter, as you will be car-less, and there may be authorities who are curious as to what happned to your car. See below, for why you may not want to tell them what happened in detail:
The main issue is with the buyer on the other end. Since the car is not "legal" for sale in the US or Canada, it will be rather tricky to register it (some states and provinces are easier than others), get insurance, and it will be virtually impossible to get a car loan to buy it - it will need to be a personal unsecured type loan. Offers for your car, will reflect the risk and small market willing to take the risk, so don't expect high offers.
It can be done, but it will require finesse on the part of the seller and buyer, as well as a good dose of luck and subterfuge.
