Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm looking for a friendly advice.
I'm the proud possesor of a Scion tc 2006. I love this car! But...soon I have to relocate in Canada. I just found out that this model can not be accepted in Canada. I know about xA and xB, but looks like there is no chance for tc. I'm very very very sad...because I love my car, has less than 3000 miles.
Do I have any other option beside seling the car?
Does anybody know about any exception?
Thank you

 

dont move

 

I can't do that! I have to choose between my family and my car!

 

take the car.. easier to maintain.. does what it's told!!

 

well...even I know you are right....still I can't do it! I hope for tc 2007....maybe the canadian will like that!

 

I have some relatives in Canada. I would hate living there. Are you east indian? cuz canada is full of them.

 

wait... you already have the car but you cant take it with you to canada? wtf?!

 

dont register it in canada. leave it registerd in the us and keep ur US i.d. that outta hold them.
try going to www.se-detroit.com and ask them. they may be able to help u out since they r north of canada

 

i dont know what to tell u cuz i dont know your whole situation. but from the looks of it, somebody (family) Oz u big time for this 1

 

I thought about keep the car registred in USA and just drive it there. But I don't know for how long will work? Hm!

 

given its a bit different, bein in the same country, but i was in indiana for about 3yrs w/ ny plates and i.d.

if u have family still here u can prob have it all registered to them, except when u go across the border u have to say ur stayin for a long time, and then that might get tricky. damn. blame canada.

 

I don't understand the problem. I know that Scion doesn't sell the tC in Canada, but why does that mean you can't drive it there? There's nothing illegal in it.

 

Seriously, if it's legal in the USA, the car is definetly legal in Canada. I don't believe the safety standards are any different.

 

Because the tC is only sold in the US, there probably are no metric speedometer units in existance. In order to register the car in Canada, it has to have a speedometer and odometer that reads in kilometers. More than likely, that is the hold-up.

Damn foreign rulers.

 

It should have KM/H on the speedometer, the inner #'s on it.

 

it does.

 

But the ODO only does Miles - unless there's a trick to change that over too?
Off to the FAQ...

It shouldn't even matter, cause if you were to get it inspected, and they _____ about the odo being in miles, just tell them to calculate it out.

 

^^^ I agree - I was just interested to see if we could toggle the display. It must be something else - damn canucks...

how the hell would the odo being in miles be that much of a problem!? omg canadia get real!
