Anyone imported XF from USA to Canada?
Hi
I am considering purchasing a 2009/2010 XF from the States and importing the vehicle back to Canada, probably save myself around $6-$7k in process.
I know Jaguar as to perform all the inspections to get clearance certificates, at a cost, but was wondering if anyone else had been through this process andif so what was the experience like? I spoke to someone at Jag who said that basically if the car has any non-stock mods it can become quite expensive quite quickly.

I brought my XK8 in earlier this year. Do your homework, read the thread Mike posted. If you are purchasing from a Jaguar dealer you can make it a condition of sale to have the running lights turned on and the recall clearance letter. The dealer I used did it for free as opposed to $500 from the Dealer in Halifax. It's not as difficult or daunting as it may appear on the surface. The taxes eat into your savings a bit but I found a greater selection of cars south of the border. Good luck we can never have enough Jaguars in Canada!
