Day time running lights

Battery check that its tied down take the plastic cover off and if you can slide that thing back and forth that will be an auto fail. Tho you can get one thru the dealer or at canadian tire depending on the batt you have. Mine has a bottom lip. I fialed the first time because i didnt have one

Hi Chase - I am interested in picking up a 2005 Allroad from Portland, OR. Am curious how much duty Canadian Border Services charge for vehicles not manufactured in Can., US or Mex. You mentioned you use a broker in Vancouver - I'd like to explore the option of using a him/her if possible. Could you please PM me your broker's business contact info?

Thanks in advance.

Is it actually worth the trouble, importing a car from outside America?
