Advice on importing a 71 satellite into Canada?

My only advice is don't lie on the purchase price to the Canadian border agents.

That is great advice. With the advent of the internet, attempting to fool Border Security is definitely not a smart move these days. They can hit a few buttons, and bang, you lose the car. I'll bet they even trawl sites like this one looking for clues.

Yes they absolutely do.

I would definitely use a service for the paperwork. I did when I bought my 64 Polara from Canada, It went without a hitch. I just sold a Ramcharger and the buyer did the paperwork himself and had to put it in storage in Washington. They didn't like the way I signed the title. They wanted me to sign the lien holder part as well. It didn't have a lien holder I was the owner.

When I brought my car across, there was a guy in front of me with a boat. Inside (as there was only 1 agent on duty) I got to hear the whole conversation:
Agent: So, what did you pay for the boat?
Guy: $5000.
Agent: Really? That's a pretty nice boat. How much did you pay?
Guy: I told you $5000.
After another 5 minutes of this, the agent looks at the guy and says 'you know what I do for a living right? I have an idea on the value of things. Look here at this Craigslist ad, there is a similar boat for $15K.' After another 20 minutes, it's revealed that the guy lied about the price, who he bought it from and how he found it. To make a long story short, another agent comes off break, asks me a few questions, looks at the car and I'm on my way (after paying tax of course). The poor bugger was still inside while another agent was combing through the boat as I drove away.
