Looking at picking up a Mach

[StAnger]

I was looking at the American Autotrader, and found an '04 Mach 1 for a decent price. Has anyone ever bought a car privately from the States and had it imported? It's only in Michigan, so theoretically I could drive it back.

Make sure the Vendor has the Title on Hand to give to you after you provide the funds.
Don't fall for "I'll send the Title later in the Mail" BS, if there is Lien and the car, insist on paying the Financial Institution what is owned and then pay the Seller any equity that is due to him and then get the Title directly from the Financial Institution. An American owner will not have the Title Certificate ON-Hand, unless they Own the car, if there is a loan or lease, the Title will be with the Note Holder and you won't get the car over the Border without it.

As long as you have the Title, you can then follow these instructions. https://www.canada.ca/en/services/transport/road/importing-vehicle.html

Both my Stangs are American and have done a few Motorbikes too, just complete all the steps precisely and there will be no issues.

That said, this must be one hell of deal, the CDN Dollar is in the Toilet. http://aminoapps.com/static/bower/emojify.js/images/emoji/toilet.png

Just under $12,600 with the exchange. I missed out on an '02 GT for $10k, so I'm kind of looking for something similar in the sub $15k range.

[Harbinger]

Mileage is too high for that price. 200 000+ km mach 1. Should be like 7k max canadian

Great car n love the color but do agree price is too high for that mileage, yes even if it's xtra clean.
If you do as JT outlined, bringing it back is a zero issue.

[StAnger]

Good point on the mileage. There's an SVO in Shakespeare, that might be a better buy.

[ZR]

Once the weather breaks in the spring, you'll see more for sale locally. Best value is one in the 80 to 100 range, no longer brings absolute top dollar but if it's been looked after, one hell of a good buy. If you track the market on the higher priced ones with moderate miles, few if any ever sell. Not sure why, thought being a ltd build car they would have hung closer to the 03/04 Cobras as the cost was not far off new.

That's true. It's too bad I missed out on the '02. It was clean, tastefully mod'd with under 130,000k for $9,999.

[ZR]

Been some great deals on very cherry GT's out there as well. Patience n follow local adds daily n you'll find what your looking for.

[Laffs]

Car is about $1000-$1500 USD to high to make it worth it. MustangShow has all excellent points in his post about the title/import process.

FWIW I have found imported to be easier and more straightforward at the Ambassador Bridge than other ports. They seem to see enough to have the process down

[Harbinger]

I bought a automatic mach 1 for 13.8k canadian with 45 000 km on it. Honestly keep on looking because im sure you will find babied mach 1s come spring time especially ones in the states

I'm actually really thinking of picking this '84 SVO up instead.

Nice looking car if it's as clean as Bob the used car salesman says it is.

From what I understand, it is a very clean car.

I have bought my last 2 saleen from the states. TMS is right. If owner doesn't have the title that means the bank still owns the car. Drive down and have a look. Agree on price then you will have to go to the bank, with the owner, that holds the title and pay off the balance. Pay the owner the remaining money and get the original title. Also, before you import a car, that title must be faxed to the US export office 48 hours (if I remember correctly) for them to run the VIN number. On the Canadian side all they care about is that you pay the tax on the car. Its a joke really. The first time my saleen sat doors locked on my trailer and no one even looked at it on the Canadian side. The American export office actually came out and verified the VIN. The second time my car was in a locked enclosed trailer and no one on the Canadian side again even looked inside at the car EVER. I honestly couldn't believe it. What a joke but I wasn't going to complain.

[StAnger]

Great info. I'm really leaning towards the SVO. I took a drive out to look at it this afternoon, and it's in great shape.

[Mustang4]

SVO's are neat little machines.

[Armen]

It's a cool car. But never a car I'd consider owning. I think the Mach would be way more fun.

The Mach sold, and the SVO is too nice. I think it sounds odd, but a car like that isn't a car a hamfisted yahoo should own. It's better suited to someone who will leave it alone, instead of modding it. Which leaves me looking for a decent New Edge GT.

[Laffs]

New Edge for the win.

[svo1990mustang]

Sorry to hear the gt and Mach slipped away. Keep looking you will find the car for you soon

Out of curiosity on my part, how much was the svo?

It happens, probably for the best. I just found out my contract won't be renewed at my one job.

As for the SVO, I believe they're looking to get $8995.

Here's a clean Mach for a decent price.

Yup, I had this kid, try to sell me a 06 GT... Never told me it had a Lien...
I Was just about to drop 15k on it with bank certified check when I decided to carfax the car....
8000 in lien, So I asked him he then proceed to tell me
Oh, i was going to pay it off when I get the cash from you....

YEA thanks for telling me they're a Lien on it because it not important right? lol

Then sends me a bunch of emails saying How I test drove the car so rough, something doesn't sound right and how I wasted his time.
Fawkking losers these days trying to sell problematic cars.

My mach has 59 000 km do you reckon I can sell it for $30k ?

Really odd he wrote cobra in the ad. Hard to find proper non sketchy sales these days

Was the lien not listed on the UVIP?

No UVIP, no sale. Not even going to look at the car.

If it's a US car in the US, no such thing as a UVIP.

[RedSN]

Fair enough. Post made it sound as if the car were local tho.
