Today, I just phone Ericksen Infiniti here in Edmonton to book an appointment, and was told "2 months waiting period" for US model cars.
This is after I told them I also have a 2004 FX35, and I have been their customer for the last few years...

Anyone have better experience with any other dealers in Canada ?

If this is the case, I will be selling both the G35 and the FX soon.

I could kinda see his point.

However there is good news West End Nissan is American purchased vehicle friendly and will not discriminate against USA vehicles. I believe the last time I checked they even offer a aftermarket extended service warrenty contracts for USA purchased vehicles. My service contact person is Carl.

Check it out and see WEN has to say for themselves.

We tend to forget how spoiled we are in the GTA with the number of dealers.

Still, not all monopolistic market dealers work that way.....
We hear a lot of good things about O'Regans, who have a lock on the East coast market.

They have no problem getting customers and jobs.

By taking my car to Erickson for service, they do make money off my service don't they ? Everytime, in the last few years that I took my FX35 there for service, I did pay them. It's not like I got anything for free from those guys...

I'm the proud owner of a 2006 G35 Coupe, imported from the US. Its a black base model with the premium package. It was brought in from Ohio, and the import process was straightforward. Ohio requires front plates, so I didn't need to worry about getting a mounting bracket. I called Infiniti US and Canada and arranged to transfer the warranty. Surprisingly, Infiniti made the process really easy, all they wanted was a fax of the title and registration. The dealer also gave me temporary plates, which let me drive the car in the US. Make sure you follow the instructions at www.riv.ca, and I recommend using a customs broker to take care of the paper work at the border.

Once the car was across, the car just needed to have the lights setup for daytime running (cost $150 at my mechanic). The inspection at Canadian Tire was free and straightforward.

Make sure when you go to the license office you've got all your papers in order. They seem to be really short-tempered there (luckily I had everything). Paid the PST, paid for my plates, and now I'm off and running.


Now, I just need a set of 19" wheels, and i'm all done!
