Moving to ARZ... what are my options?

[Paradis]

There looks to be a reasonable chance I will be leaving to ARZ this fall. Probably going to be a 4 year stint, dunno after that.

Sooo.. what to do with my car. I've had a yearly for sale thread (Custom steering wheels) that i might have to revive, but i'd like to keep the car and own it down there, but i've heard you have to come back across the border every 6 months with it.

So i was searching through threads, and this one was the closest thing i could find
Sound like a scam to you?
but its from somone who's buying, and living in the US.


Difference in my case is i think i'll be there on somekind of temporary visa, based on the fact that my wife is doing her phd in arz, so i'd be allowed to stay there, but dunno if i'm graced with citizenship.

Help??

jeez don't everyone put their hands up at once

What you can do is sign off a permanent residence for your parents or something here, and mark it as your "permanent residence" and have all your mail forwarded to Arizona, including Insurance etc.

That way you are a visitor to the country, not a permanent or temporary resident. Every 6 months the car would have to leave the country however... for a grace period of 7 days.

That's the only advice I can give you... I hope it works out.

I'm sure people will be shitting in the US when they see a GT-R lol.

I know in BC you can only be out of Province for 30 days, or else your insurance is no longer valid.. however you can by insurance from a US company which would cover you while you are there.

what kind of insurance company would insure his skyline while he's there?

So i can get insurance there? I was planning to have the car still titled in canada through my father's address. I'm assuming the two of us would have a 4 year student visa that would exclude me from having to replate the car there

call your insurance company. at the very least you will have to inform them you are there. if not if something were to happen, you will not be covered. like the guy from ontario that hit me, his insurance isnt covering it, he didnt tell them he had moved here.

basicly you would still have to have your Alberta Plates, and active insurance on it.. then you can get some kinda US insurance on top of that.. i never done it..

Call some US insurance places, Like Progressive, or Gieko..
