  4. Quote from canadian porsche dealer web site under "service".this is the new process, that porsche Canada want us to follow.hope this can help Ben Whether you purchased your Porsche from an authorized Canadian Porsche Dealer, bought it pre-owned from an individual, or imported it into Canada, your Canadian Porsche Dealer is committed to treating each customer equally. In order to offer the same high level of service to customers with imported Porsches, all cars brought into Canada must meet the same standards of quality and safety as Porsches sold by authorized Canadian dealers. In addition, regulations require that your imported Porsche be modified to meet Canadian safety requirements within 45 days of entering the country. Porsche Dealers will assist you with both. Once you have booked an appointment with a Porsche Dealer, your imported vehicle will receive a detailed inspection and technical compliance confirmation; once these services, together with any necessary modifications and additional services required for the technical confirmation, have been effected, it will then be eligible to be licensed for use in Canada. The MSRP for the inspection and compliance confirmation services is $1,250, including an oil and filter change (dealer may charge less). Other services, including modifications, may give rise to additional charges. If you acquired your Porsche outside Canada, your vehicle must be inspected and modified to meet Canadian safety requirements within 45 days of its arrival in Canada. Only your authorized Porsche Dealer in Canada can provide you with the documentation required for government authorities after performing these required modification and inspection steps. Once you have booked an appointment with a Porsche Dealer, your imported vehicle will receive a detailed inspection and technical compliance confirmation; once these services, together with any necessary modifications and additional services required for the technical confirmation, have been effected, it will then be eligible to be licensed for use in Canada. The MSRP for the inspection and compliance confirmation services is $1,250, including an oil and filter change (dealer may charge less). Other services, including modifications, may give rise to additional charges. Why is this process important? It ensures that your imported vehicle is legal, safe and performs like it did when it left the factory. Any potential problems are highlighted and dealt with right away, meaning that down the road, your car will run better, run more reliably and will deliver the driving pleasure you expect and deserve. What to bring 1.Original Bill of Sale from country of origin 2.Photo ID 3.Vehicle warranty and maintenance booklet 4.Proof of payment of importation duty 5.Vehicle Import Form – Form 1 What to expect 1.You will be asked for your original bill of sale, with photo identification, in order to ensure that Porsche can honour your car's warranty in Canada. 2.Your vehicle's maintenance book will be checked to verify its service history. 3.Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd. will check the vehicle's authenticity on the global mainframe to ensure the imported vehicle was not a total loss or salvaged vehicle and to ensure the authenticity of the components fitted. 4.The oil and filter will be changed. Every Porsche leaves the production line with Mobil 1 for optimal performance and engine longevity. An oil change ensures your Porsche is lubricated to factory specifications. All other lubricants will also be checked in order that your Porsche performs as intended. 5.The tires will be checked. Porsche's tire suppliers meet stringent regulations for performance, and only N-specification tires meet the standards set by the engineers in Germany. Installing N-specification tires, if required, ensures your Porsche accelerates, brakes and corners in the manner its designers and engineers intended. 6.All modifications required to meet specific Canadian regulations and safety requirements will be performed. 7.A factory-trained technician will test-drive your imported vehicle to confirm it drives like a Porsche should. 8.Finally, your full contact details will be updated in order that Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd. can contact you in the future – to keep your car up to date with modifications that need to take place from time to time.

  7. HI ! I have my new boxster 2005 with 30k miles and I'm having some intermittent starting problem ,the starter turns but it looks like it has no ignition. Then i stop starting it, do it again and then it starts very well, and it's not happening all times maybe one on ten, no matters if the car is cold or warm. thanks Ben
  8. I everyone, just bought my first porsche a 2005 Boxster,Bought it in Texas end drove it back to Quebec,a 2000 miles rides, the car feel like new,I love it,it's a CPO ,Atlas Grey with stone Grey interior and top. I like mecanic and I like to know how everything works so is possible to find a shop manual for this car, i'm not sure but i thing it 's only on CD Thanks Ben
  9. I bought a 2005 in Nebraska and drove it 1400 miles or so home to Arizona. Loved every minute of it. The dealer should give you a "temporary" plate when you pick up the car. It is good in any US state. I doubt it is different due to your citizenship, but I don't know. Route suggestion: If going to southern California, take US highway 395 on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Either coming or going. A great driving road. Also highway 1 on the Pacific coast is a beautiful (but slow) drive. In northern California going east/west use US highway 50 instead of interstate 80 if you can at least in one direction. In southern California go thru Death Valley if you can. Should not be too bad in April. Don't plan to cross the Sierras anywhere but north (Truckee) or south. The central passes are often still snowbound. See San Francisco if you can. A beautiful city. Have fun. Thanks bdill1 very helpful Ben
  10. I would like to know if there are mecanical problems that I should be aware of. Yes, I drove a 2007 from a friend but it's too expensive for my budget. I'm looking for a standard boxster with 18" wheels bi-xenon headlight as minimun equipment, bonus equipment sport chrono package, sport steering wheels....that's it. 20k to 25k miles Ben
