If anyone is interested in Importing an Eclipse into Canada, this is what I had to do. After bringing it across, they gave me 30-45 days to get it up to Canadian standards. The main thing was I had to install daytime running lights. That cost around $120. Also, the car had 2 very bald front tires so I had to replace those. I was hoping that would be it....nope.

The car's rear brakes were all but gone....the tint had to be removed, the alignment had to be adjusted and I think that is it. So basically it cost me another $1000 to fix up the car enough to have it legal in Canada. I didn't pay duty because the car was made in the US. I had to pay GST on how much I paid for the car and then PST when I had it insured.
