PAYMENT TERMS & CONDITIONS

Payment terms will be discussed with winner bidder (bank wire is the fastest and easiest option). Of course, serious bidders only. Full payment before shipping the vehicule. I like to keep my customers happy as you can tell by my feedback profile. The car is not mine, We are brokers and we take care of all the paperwork, payment and "smooth" transaction process.

All sales are FINAL, and the car will be sold As Is, represented to the best of our knowledge.  You can come over and inspect the car if you wish though. I sold approximately 50 cars on eBay now and everything went smoothly. We can give references if requested.

CUSTOMS, EPA & DOT STUFF

Custom fee is 200$US for the paperwork and that's it.

On the EPA (Environment Protection Agency) and DOT (Department of Transportation) side, the rules are a little different for car "25 years +" and my broker handles the paper for that so the import process will be quite easier.

We will have all the paperwork prepared and you won't have to get your own custom broker.   I take care of everything.  All you have to add to your winning bid is shipping (if you don't come up to drive it back home), your State Federal tax (at your licence bureau when you get the titles) and the customs (if it applies).  The car is ready to go... papers process can take about 1 to 2 weeks depending on how fast you want the car and payment arrives (bank wire is the fastest option).

SHIPPING TERMS

Shipping this car would require a specialized enclosed carrier and they are quite expensive.  I would say it will range from 2000$US to 4000$US depending on where you are located in USA.  We will work together on that issue.

WANT TO SAVE A FEW $$$

If you are close enough to Province of Quebec, you can trailer the car back home!  You will save the 200$US in custom paperwork preparation, and save on shipping (gas is still less expensive ;-)).  A nice ride with a friend or your spouse!  We will provide you with the two papers customs will require: the bill of sale and the title (registration); that way, the border process will be easy.  You can save between 500$US and 1500$US depending on your location.  We are located in Quebec City (Province of Quebec, Canada).
