Anyone import vehicles from the states?

hey so just wondering who all has experience with importing vehicles from the states into Canada. Iv got a few questions as to what are your favourite imports and why? Which ones see the biggest return?

they imported for themselves. My brother bought a VW camper in Cali and drove it up to BC and my dad a Volvo from somewhere on the East coast.

but yea, maybe it's different if you're importing to sell right away. But I don't know how they'd know what you're planning to do with it.

get the vin of the vehicle you're buying and make sure there aren't any recalls on it, that sucksget your paperwork done and send it asapthe rest is easy
