My experience with importing has led me to believe that having it shipped to your door or at least to the nearest depo (for you it'd probably be Halifax, maybe Fredericton) and have the shipping company do all the border paperwork. For an extra $2-300 it's worth it. Unless of course you want the adventure of picking it up. There was a cool article in the Dec. (?) Excellence about a guy who brought an SC home from California to Toronto. Someday I'd love to do that!

Yes that is expensive temp coverage, but the car hasen't been inspected prior to being insured (like is required when you insure here). Also there are more cars in the USA. Hence the higher the risk ($7.66 a day) to what the regular insurance is ($1.72 a day)
Having done two fly and drive home with cars, I'd recommend it as a great way to get to know the car.
