Default Questions about bringing car from US to Canada...

Anyone know what the process is? I'm a Canadian citizen and have been living in the US for the past 10 years (undergrad, work, and grad school). I'm thinking of moving back to Toronto, but have been told I can't simply drive across the border because I purchased the car in the US. Does anyone have experiences with doing this? What do I have to go through?

Default Thanks for the link. Now I have to find out how much duty is for my car to see if it's worth..

bringing it back. Plus modification costs (instrument cluster and DRL). Might consider selling it in the US instead.

Did you have to pay PST when you registered it in your province?
