USA or Canada

I am thinking of buying used across the border in the states. Is it that big of a hassle, or not really to bad bringing them back. And what is this RIV??

The dealership I bought from did all the paperwork for me all I had to do was show up and pay for the sled, pay the taxes at the border and done.
 
Since it's Yamaha won't there be ~6% duty as well. NAFTA only covers products built in North America

depends on the day?? brought mine through, wrote it up as manufactured in the states, they caught that it was made in japan and made me redo the paper work (if the first letter in your vin starts with a J, it's made in japan) so I redid it, and went to pay, and it still only came up that I had to pay just the gst. saved 4 hundy plus.lol
 
so what is the cost for bringing it across & how long does the paperwork take i know you have done quite a few noob.how much did you pay for the nytro.
 
I am now bringing up cars, bikes and boats. It couldnt be easier. I am doing it through a company so there is more paper work to do but I use a broker. It's well worth it. You just show up at the border, the paper work is allready there and you cross. The broker sends you a bill and you write 1 check. The Manufacturers are still screwing us so screw them. As Darko said. They have had lots of time to adjust their prices and they arent coming close so why should we all suffer up here and pay more? It sucks because it hurts the dealers up here but they need to send the msg pronto to their reps that this is not acceptable. In the mean time I will be doing weekly trips down south and finding deals and bringing them back. I make a little bit and when I sell anything up here it saves the buyer thousands and he is happy too.

the cost to bring it across was gst at 5%, and a 205 dollar riv fee. I've got 8080.00 into this sled right now. It worked out great, buddy want us to pick his new truck up in utah, so he paid my fuel to drive down and pick it up. I picked up my new enclosed sled trailer (mirage, and boy do they have some qc issues. trailer is going back to nampa on tuesday for warranty, so if they make it right I have no problems) we swung around to baker city, picked the sled up and headed up to the border. If a guy is getting one sled or a bike, it aint' worth you driving down alone. figure on spending a grand depending on how far south you go for fuel and food, and hotel if you have to stay a night. If anybody needs a sled, let me know now. buddy is headed down tuesday and coming back thursday. we have 4 3 seater jet skii's coming up with this load, and have the back of a truck available to haul something. need to know by monday afternoon at latest.

Are you guys kidding me!?!

I have been watching this for the past few days and I've had enough!!!

If you all actually think it is the manufactures fault then you have obviously been inhaling to much race gas in the thin air of the north. The only one to blame for the exchange rate is our governments and if you think you are doing any dealer (USA or Canada) justice by blabbing your mouth about how much cheaper it is to buy it in the states, you are all out of your minds. As soon as YMC starts to feel the impact the will phone Japan then Japan will phone YMUS and nobody will be able to get any (new or used) Yamaha registered in Canada because YMUS will not sign off on the Recall release.

I know you are still going to do whatever you want and I am not one to stop you but think about who you throw under the bus while you are bragging about how good of a deal you did get or can get south of the border.

Were you saying this 5-10 years ago when the dollar was the other way around. the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, isnt' it. If your ok with paying 2500 + for sled, that's your deal. All we're asking is that after last year with the pricing difference, there was no real attempt at creating a closer gap with the exchange rate. some of the manufacturer's offered rebates, but this still equates to a 2500 dollar difference after rebates. If there was a 1000 to 1500 dollar difference, I wouldn't have a problem with that. YMUS dont' have to sign off on a recall letter. That's an easy option to get from dealer down there.

Tell ya what, seeing as how your taking the stand you are, I've got a dealer up here that will gladly sell you a couple units at our pricing. I'll get you dealers name and number so you can contact and get these units asap. This reply aint' to start a pissing match with ya, just trying to understand why you think we're trying to throw someone under a bus. all we want is pricing that is fair, whether it be yammi japan's fault, yammi canada, or yammi u.s., whoever we dont' care. do something about it. government or not, there has to be a way, and we're not seeing it happen.

Lay off the pipe. manufacturers set price, therefor it is their problem. whether it be sleds, vehicles, or electronics they all tend to be pretty slow in correcting the problem. Harley Davidson, John Deere, Peterbuilt, Mastercraft and others adjust pricing very often ( some as often as every 6 days) why can't the others?
