SHORT ANSWER - BECAUSE ITS CHEAPER AND EASIER!
To elaborate.
In 1997 my Cobra Kit ended up locked in a bonded warehouse for more than a month at $25.00 per day! While it was there I spent an inordinate amount of time and money - not to mention stress - figuring out how to get it cleared by Canada Customs.
Fast forward to the present.
The Fed. DOT Web Site at http://www.tc.gc.ca/securiteroutiere/importusa/english/im2gen_e.htm States "Kit Cars LESS THAN FIFTEEN YEARS OLD (assembled or unassembled) - None are admissible.
On the surface that would appear to eliminate the Kit Car hobby in Canada! HOWEVER, under the Canadian charter of rights a citizen of this country cannot be stopped from building his (or Her) own car. So, with that knowledge Western Canada Cobras has spent the time to figure out the necessary steps to legally bring a Kit car into Canada.
As a by-product of this, due to our narrow focus on this one aspect of the Kit Car procurement industry in Canada, we have also managed to put in place systems that save you a considerable amount of money.
How much you ask?
Since some of the savings are in freight costs it varies, but it runs from $1000.00 to $1500.00 Canadian, plus the elimination of bureaucratic foul ups that have a real cost in terms of both dollars and stress.
So, if you are serious about purchasing a Factory Five Racing Kit car, drop us a line or call us and let us explain the service we offer and how we turn a $75.00Cdn initial investment into $100Cdn or more.
