Bienvenue / Welcome, Canadian Customers!

Sunnyside Acura is delighted to offer special values in Certified Pre-owned Acuras to Canadian customers who visit our website!

Outlined below are some frequently asked questions and answers regarding the purchase and importation process.

Can I trade in my vehicle?

Unfortunately, issues with vehicle titles and validation of miles do not permit us to accept international trade-ins. Most of our Canadian customers sell their cars locally and then purchase their Certified Pre-owned Acuras from Sunnyside Acura.

What paperwork is required to cross back into Canada?

We will prepare and provide you with all the necessary paperwork to complete the transaction at the border. Contact us for a complete list of required documents.

How do I get started?

Start browsing our website now, then call us or e-mail us with any questions. We will have one of our Internet sales associates assist you.

Can you provide financing? What are the payment terms?

We are not permitted to finance cars being imported into Canada. Many of our Canadian customers either self-finance or seek financing through Canadian financial institutions. This would be similar to finding your own financing for a vehicle purchased in Canada. We provide your lending institution with the VIN number and any other important information they may need. When the vehicle is picked up, payment is due in full by a certified bank draft (in U.S. dollars) or by wire transfer.

What Certified Pre-owned Acura vehicles meet import guidelines?

Most Certified Pre-owned Acura vehicles meet import guidelines. We will confirm with Canadian Customs that the specific Certified Pre-owned Acura vehicle of interest to you meets all applicable import guidelines. Your vehicle must have daytime running lights. No additional maintenance modifications are usually required.

* Before running the calculator, be aware that:

Canada levies a $100.00 "air conditioning fee" on all imported cars with air conditioners.

The same 5% GMT and Provincial PST you would be expected to pay when purchasing/registering a vehicle purchased in Canada would be paid on your imported vehicle, only you will be paying based on the U.S. purchase price, not the Canadian price - a significant savings!

Duty fees. There are no duties under NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) on U.S.manufactured vehicles.
