Moving from Florida to Toronto, Canada. Should I sell my BMW and take it with me and save it in Toronto? I live in Florida and even a 2009 BMW 335i (no links) with a value of $ USD45, 000. I'm moving to Toronto in Canada shortly. Is it better to sell my car in Florida and buy a new 1 in Canada, or simply to drive to Toronto and re-register the car there. Any idea of cost to transfer and register a car from U.S. to Canada?
Hello, I propose to sell the car and buy another in Canada. "
This depends on many factors, if you're Canadian or you're not, PLUS (+)
forms, original, silver, copy, license, insurance, registration, date, weather (-5 C with a wind factor-19C), the waiting time, your status, immigration, etc., etc., etc..

Al the best for you and welcome to Canada!
There is a bit of a hassle, but not much. You may have to get a Daytime Running Light module installed, but a BMW Canada can do for you. Your speedometer has speeds of metrics on him and nobody cares if your meter is in miles.
Likely you deposit $ 300 or so of the record in Canada. Plus the cost of the lighting control module, if you do get one. You can also ask the dealer in Florida if they can help you or visit a link below.
Or do a Yahoo search for "add DRL BMW
Your car was built for the U.S. is all market.Canada now.You metric need a compliance letter from BMW USA that your car is Canadian requirements.Even if it does you'll have to pay the tax which I suggest you call again.Might an international broker to see if it is economically viable? I went the other way.Born and raised in Toronto, we now live in South Tampa.
If his personal property and that you bring with you for your personal use (for example, do not sell it), then it will just cost you the cost of the record in Canada. Very probably less than $ 100.
Take with you. You'll lose too much depreciation by selling a nearly new car and replace it.
