trailering car into canada with intent to sell

[squid]

This is gonna suck if the deal goes through.

Is it possible to pay nothing if I make up a story stating that he is an old college friend, that went to school in the states, and left his car here after he crashed it. I am simply doing him a favor and bringing it back to him. Would that fly? The car is worth $2500 or less etc. How much would I have to pay if anything in this situation when crossing into Canada. On the way back to the states I will have an empty trailer and tell them the same.

Any advice?

No no no no no! They deal with cars coming across every day. There is a procedure and you WILL follow it. And they can and will impound the car and arrest you if you try any screwball ideas.

He will come and get it(with you if you care) and he will take care of the paperwork. That is the proper and only way to do it.
