Im not sure, but looking back I think I may have set a record for the quickest importation and registration for an XB in Ontario

5 business days -or- 7 days incl Sat/Sun/And labor day

-Wednesday September 6th (12:10pm)

FINISH: (Plated)

This was done by working the system and not beliving everything you read online.

I made sure to call every person and or agency/organization that I had to deal with.. and made sure that we where all on the same page.

This may or may not work out for other people as some of it was at the agents discretion and my charm .


But it does show that it is possible.. may depend on what crossing as well.


I now have a 2006 Scion XB 5sp manual in Polar White (it only had 11miles on it )
