Hello all!
I'm a new member and I just found your Forum this morning. This is great! A forum for Canadians who love Corvettes! Thanks for having me here.
I own a 2006 Z06 in Lemans Blue. With not quite 12,000 Kms. Bone stock. I've owned it for about 5 years now. Sorry to say that I am currently in the process of selling it to an American buyer. I absolutely love the car but because of a growing family, I have no time to drive it. The US dollar made this very enticing.
I was wondering if any of you know anything about getting it across the border? It is the buyers responsibility to come get the car whether he has it shipped or picks it up himself. The car was originally an American car so he can take the car back duty free I believe. Does anyone know the exact steps so I can maybe help him with some guidance? He has some shipping quotes that he claims are from $2000 to $3000 USD to take the car from my door to his. I'd like to more so get info on the paperwork required to cross it into the USA. I've been told a bill of sale, and proof that the car was purchased new in the USA to avoid duty charges??? Is this true? Any help would be appreciated!!!
ALSO......
The long term goal is to acquire my Dad's 2015 Z06/Z07 Convertible when he decides to part with it! It's triple black with a manual 7-speed. Visible carbon fibre ground effects and 3LZ. I've been reading a lot of your threads about getting your hands on these cars. It seems as if AllFlash was right. Gotta have luck, be lucky, and luckier. My dad said it was a 4 month project to get his car the way he wanted it to his hands. And many times the dealer told him it wasn't going to happen.
Does anybody know the breakdown of Canadian Z06/Z07 Convertibles? Just curious. Thanks in advance for any help.
