Is it worth to import Canadian car from Canada to USA?

[wooramse]

HI guys,
I found a new job in California so am moving from Canada to USA early next year. Luckily the new employer reimburse the cost to import the car to US. Is it worth to bring my car to US by the way? It's 2008 G35 and still covered under the factory warranty until next June though. But don't know the warranty works in US or not.
I could find lots of questions and answers for the other way(From US to Canada) on the internet but somehow no one does it from Canada to US. I know the car price in Canada is much higher than US. Also It would be too stressful and time spending to shop around the market in US to find out the right car(most probably used one) and I have to pay the tax at border and documentation will be painful as well. Even if the car price in US is much cheaper than here in Canada, I would have to pay a tax to buy a used one in US and will lose some money when sell my car in Canada. So it's not just one way or the other, lots of tradeoff. Please advise me.
Thanks

If the new employer will actually reimburse the cost, it sounds like a no-brainer. Do it. Check with an Infiniti dealer where you're transferring as to the warranty issue, but I can't think of any reasons why they would not honor it cross-border. I think that if you're traveling in the US, or a US owner is travelling in Canada, they can get warranty service, so I don't see how it would be any different.

I had a former co-worker from Canada that brought along her car. It was an Acura CSX (Honda Civic with leather). I'll try to answer the question this way. One always loose in selling and buying a car. You are paying for someone's commission both ways. So it's better to keep you own car even if you have to pay the taxes, fees, smog check etc. Everybody wants some $$$, but it's still cheaper then the cost of buying and selling your current car.

If you are looking to get out of it, then that's a different story. If you love your car, and would get basically the same thing, I would ship your car over.

As for warranty, I don't know. Again, from the Honda side, often a recall only applies to US models and not Canadian when it's made in the exact same factory plant. Maybe Canadians are not sue happy so they don't care about recalls up north.

My co-worker had her car serviced by a Honda dealer and they took care of her. There was no major problems so the warranty never comes into play. If it's something minor, I believe the dealer just took care of it. I mean, if she just paid $350 for a 3yr/36K month service, they fix the loose mirror for free and call it "goodwill repairs."
