do you have to pay customs if selling to us buyer

Run a blue book value check. Not sure how prices are in Canada but in the US you couldn't move a used SUV with a dump truck. They just aren't selling well on the auction market.

IMO, a buyer from the US would be silly buying the 'out of country' SUV simply because there are a ton for sale in the states. Unless the deal was just insanely cheap.

Ahh you see, you have to figure out what song the quote is from

I think you should be asking $35 k CDN, and accepting something less than that. Dealer may give you $32 k on a trade. 4.4 values (pre-valvetronic) are not going to hold very well. Countering that, you have a CPO warranty, so make sure you promote it as such.

No duties between Canada and US (North-American built vehicle). Some tax issues, but they should be for the buyer, not the seller. Wouldn't think you have a market in the US for this, given where the dollar exchange rate is.

Depends on the VIN of your vehicle. If it starts W....then the car is considered German and will accrue a 2.71% import duty paid by the US buyer before the car can cross the border. This doesn't relieve or lessen the state tax paid to register the car.

If it starts with a number, then there is no duty.

Ask me how I know...

It is an X5, built in the US. How can it have a German prefix in the VIN?

P Diddy huh?

In the U.S., there seems to be more people (or maybe it's just dealers) using Galves.com for determining used car values rather than Kelley Blue Book.

our '04 3.0 was $30000 all in from the US. the 4.4's were only 1-2000 more.

Since an '03 was before he '04 make over i would think you would have to sell it in the mid to high 20's, unless you can find a sucker...
