Hi,

We plan to move to NB and I fancy buying a Nissan Murano - very tempted to buy one here but holding off as it will be a waste if we are hopefully moving to NB this year. Anyway, there aren't many for sale in NB so could I buy one from NS? Would I have to pay any fees or extra tax?

Also, has anyone got one? Are they reliable?

Thanks in advance,
CB

Cars have to be re-plated when you move provinces, so the answer is probably yes.

Do you not just have to replate it when the year is up? A plate doesn't cost much - you may have to get it safetied tho' From what hubby says they just check it's got 4 wheels and some lights

In Alberta you are supposed to register any vehicle from another province within three months of it being brought into the province.

Prior to it being registered it must have an Out of Province inspection, could be the 4 wheels and light check you hubby was talking about.

Cheers

If you pay provincial tax in NS it's possible you can get this back when you register the car out of province.

But you most likely will have to pay provincial tax in NB.

So most likely a lot of paper work and you'll end up paying virtually the same tax.

Just out of interest, I have just registered my new car (Honda CRV-SE) in Nova Scotia ($10.65) and have chosen a personalised plate for only $85.50. All personalised plates cost the same - well worth it (I think).

Minimum - 2 full characters (from digits 0 to 9 or letters A to Z).

Maximum - 7 characters (and can include blank space).

You submit 5 choices at your local Services Nova Scotia office and I was told there and then if they were available. The plate will be sent by post.

Will have to investigate with Service NB I suppose. Many thanks for replies.

The personalised plates sound like a bargain

A personal plate in alberta costs $212 - hubby came home last night and said 'Are you going to shout at me?' I said no course not thinking he had bought ANOTHER car (he only bought one on Friday - takes us up to 3.5 each ) so was quite relieved it was only a plate So we have a Jeep comming up for sale - just going in the body shop for fixing where the hooligans booted the door in......
