Job oportunities are directing me to Montreal, Quebec...I really want to take my 3 babies with me. But I can hardly justify have 3 summer-only cars. Is it even viable to have a 30 years old diesel in Quebec?
Any Quebecois in the forum? or northeast USA commentator?

I live in Northern Vermont and have two Diesel Tractors (one is 47 YO) and two 300Ds. No problem with any of them in the winter provided that you have a block heater, good glow plugs and properly adjusted valves. We also use a "winter blend" of diesel which is about 60% kerosene as well as diesel fuel anti-gel. Granted if it colder than -30 we just stay home.
Also, I travel to Quebec quite often and have seen many diesels of all brands purring through the coldest winter days.
Montreal is a great city. Parlez-vous francais?

I go to Montreal, all the time, and have a lot of connections there as well. It's nice, but you wouldn't want your cars on the roads out ther, come winter time with the salt etc. It's a beautiful place though. I hope you can learn to speak the language, but a lot of them speak english pretty well too.
They are about the nicest, and horniest bunch of people I've met on this side of the pond also. I'd love to live there for these reasons, and many more. I speak both languages fluently though, so I don't have too many problems with communication myself.
I don't know what advise to offer you though, in reguards to your cars aside from that though.., sorry.

Losing your rights as an American citizen for a job? Not worth the trade. Respectfully submitted.

Do you think that all the "americans" who live/work in foreign countries have given up their U.S. citizenship?

I think he is under the impression that Canadians don't enjoy the same inalienable "rights" as Americans. Don't know what those would be though... You do have the right to remain blissfully ignorant.

OK, I think I see what he's thinking. At the moment I have people who are trying to talk me into working/living in China for a few years.

I'd do that in a blink. China is awesome.

Armondo, if you want to rid yourself of that 116, say the word.

We'll see, as always it depends on the deal.

If you wanted to import A euro mercedes you'll never get a better chance than when in canada, All vehicles over 15 years can come in with no modifications required.

Montreal can get pretty chilly in the winter, but you know its a great place to live, if you can deal with the quebecois. I was born there.

There are alot of things about Canada you will really like.

Well maybe I should precise my thoughts. My main concern are the cars right now... Winters in salt laden roads are not conductive to the conservation of cars. Given that two of the 3 already show sign of rust even in TX I am really terrified at the idea of them crumbling away in a pile of red dust!!! (particularly the 116, which is a looker... a rustbucket but a looker nevertheless).

I do speak french, english and spanish fluently...
