Mon Cher (sarcasm for idiot) C.R. Krieger

I could entertain a discussion with you by simply say that, if one is
looking for criticism of a certain product, the best place to go is to
the competition, and Jaguar has been Mercedes competition for many
years.    I am sure that Mercedes would not agree with this.
Your reply ". because Canadians are smarter than we thought they
were?" confirms just that.

Or, tell you that it was done on purpose so that self appointed
Internet police like you, can exercise the little power they have.

But no, I just made a mistake. Once I realized my error, I placed the
same message on the Mercedes Group.
I did get useful information from both groups (yours not included) and
I would like to thank the others for the help they gave me

Probably the main reason why I first selected the Jag group is because
I had an E3 ( the most beautiful car ever made and disgrace for
reliability)  Lucas has done a lot of damage to Jag.
I still have a XJS that, as my mechanic used to say, are very good the
first 2 years. It has been on my driveway since the day it burned a
head gasket.

Response from the Federal Gvn.:

The listing of the cars as importable, is the manufactures
responsibility.
Consequently, if the car isn't listed, a letter from the manufacturer
is required, stating that the car meets Canadian standards.

Also, importing a defective car, like with water damage (Katrina) may
or may not be approved by the province. Suggested call the Government
of that province for more information.
There is probably al loophole in the law. Import it into one province
and then transfer it to another. One has to pay taxes twice.
