Buying Out of State

OREGON CUSTOMERS

After getting your new vehicle to Oregon, you will need an emissions test called a DEQ before you go to the DMV. The Customer will be responsible for finding a local DMV to use for the titling process. Art Gamblin Motors will send the Title to the specified DMV. Once the Title has arrived at the DMV the customer will need to bring Art Gamblin Motors purchase order, proof of insurance and the DEQ result to the DMV. The DMV may require the customer to have a vin check done. You can get the form off the website for the Oregon DMV (http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/DMV/). The customer will also need to get the application for registration and title at http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/DMV. Once at the DMV the customer will be responsible to pay a title, registration and plates fee.

Arrange for insurance on the vehicle.

• New vehicles will not be exported to Canada or any foreign country.
• Any GM Certified Pre-Owned vehicles for the USA will not qualify for certification in Canada
• Pre-owned vehicles will not qualify for GM Canada warranty work until after 7,500 miles (12,000 Kilometers) and six months since US in-service date has occurred.

Now it is time to schedule an appointment and make the drive to Art Gamblin Motors in Enumclaw, WA. When you arrive, verify that the VIN on the bill of sale matches the one on your vehicle. Also, make sure that there is a North American compliant sticker on the vehicle. This is usually located on the beam of the driver’s door. Ask an Art Gamblin Motors representatives if you need assistance.

Drive to the US border crossing that you faxed your information to, and identify yourself with your passport and driver’s license. They will check the vehicle title, bill of sale, and the VIN number on the vehicle. Officials will stamp your vehicle’s title to release it to Canadian customs. Stop at Canadian customs, again identifying yourself with driver’s license and passport. Inform them you are importing the vehicle. They will have you pull in and park to go fill out Vehicle Import Form 1. (Which they provide)

You will then have to pay your RIV fee. ($195+GST[6%]) + $100 fee if you vehicle has Air Conditioning, a possible emissions exercise and possible duty if the vehicle was not built in North America. Please have your Credit Card in hand for this step, as Canadian Border Patrol does not accept checks or cash.

When payment has been made, they will verify your insurance, stamp your Vehicle Import Form 1 and you will be allowed to pass through.

Within 10 days of submitting Vehicle Import Form 1 at the border, Canadian customs will send you Vehicle Import Form 2 – Federal Inspection.

You have 45 days from the day that you submitted to get any necessary modifications done to your vehicle, and have it inspected.

When you bring the vehicle to get inspected, bring all supporting documents with you such as title, bill of sale, Vehicle Import Form 1, Vehicle Import Form 2 and the outstanding recall letter.

When the vehicle passes the inspection, they will put a sticker on the driver’s side door frame stating that your vehicle is Canadian Safety compliant. They will fill out your Vehicle Import Form 2 and provide you with all of the necessary paperwork to register the vehicle in your province.

You can now take it right over to your provincial vehicle licensing office along with all of the paperwork you’ve accumulated to get it registered. There you will pay the provincial sales tax on the sale price of the vehicle.
