American Regulators Cracking Down
Xvipers.com true story - august 2012
If you ever do business with xvipes.com
I suggest to go there, choose your parts, pay and leave.
My overal buying experience from xvipers.com was not as easy as online shopping should be.
My 1st online transaction with xvipers owner Michael Nouri went very smooth and with no issues.
Parts arrived few days later and all was the way it supposed to.
Second transaction was not as good:
I ordered a rear clip for 2010 prius in JUNE 2012, THEY HAD it , price was not lowest on the market but they offered to cut clip the way I want and promissed that they will include all internal parts, tail lights and bumper and hatch doors for 2010 toyota Prius with matching interior and exterior colors.
I called few days for payment, Michael took my CC numbers over the phone.
Unfortunatelly my CC ( had a limit ) and would cover only amount for parts without shipping charges.
I called day later and told him, that I want to pay shipping with other CC. He said it will be taken care by secretary and that she will call me soon.
3 months later, no phone from secretary or from Micheal and me calling every second day at different times, no one is picking xvipers toll free or regular phone up.
No one is answering emails at sales@xvipers.com either, and I am on my way with empty trailer to little city of: OWENSVILLE in Missouri where Xvipers are located.
I checked their address via google maps and it shows a building with warehouse and many salvage vehicles around. I thought that if between the time then the satellite picture was taken and now nothing happened they should be still there. I searched for business in the area and called local Auto parts store just accross the street. They did not know who Xvipers is but they knew who the guy with Toyota Prius parts is so I was very confident that someone is there.
Well, unfortunately when I arrived to Owensville all invenotry of salvage cars was gone. As I was told by Police officer later that day, Xvipers.com moved away to enclosed warehouse 5 miles away from the town.
When I talked to local police officer he told me that city officials kicked Xvipers out from the city due to large amount of complains from outside customers. Police told me that there are hundreds people like me comming/calling/sending letters to Police/city of Owensville annually beginning in 2008 until now ( AUG/2012 ) to get their money back or purchases. Unfortunately they ( Police/City) cannot do much. I heard stories about several russians flying there with their own translator to recover their about 30k USD investment in Viper parts and someone else flying from Sweden to get their money back.
Reason for no Police action:
All transactions are done via Internet not cash register so police cannot prove anything to xvipers.com
Showing your online transactions won't work. Xvipers uses Australian credit card company to process their orders. I tried to call/email/mail that company and never got answer. Try for yourself:
Police officer told me that he submit bunch of complains to FBI for investigation year ago but they refused it because it is not cost effective for them unless each case is worth more than 100k USD
He told me that the only remedy is to hire local lawyer and open civil suit against xvipers.com , he told me these things happened in the past and at the moment Michael Nouri coughs out money or parts to his customers.
Below are few pictures of what I saw in Owensville, Missouri on August 2012.
Shop name is Eliteauto not Xvipers. there are approximately 4 workers there. I had no privilege to meet Michael, and he could only communicate over the phone with his workers.
They pretend as they do not know what is going on. Once I showed then an INVOICE and proof of payment on my credit card statement where it says Xvipers.com then they could give me what I came for.
If you need any more info, please email me. I will be happy to share my thoughts.
I was LUCKY ! I got my parts and I left as quickly as I could.Here some pics from the site:

Extened vehicle warranty in Ontario Canada
Please keep in Mind, AutoexportAuction provide warranties on vehiclesimported from USA into CANADAInsured Warranty Providers in Canada for Vehicles |
Dealers are required to ensure warranty contracts comply with all requirements under the new Motor Vehicle Dealers Act (MVDA). An extended warranty is a contract whereby a person, other than a motor vehicle manufacturer, agrees to provide coverage of the costs associated with the repair or replacement of components of a motor vehicle, including the labour necessary to repair or replace those components, that is in addition to a warranty supplied by law or implied by the operation of law. Dealers can only sell extended warranty products that are insured, or for which a letter of credit to the Compensation Fund has been provided. Note: Letters of credit are drawn against in the event of a failure of the extended warranty provider which results in claims to the Compensation Fund. If the extended warranty provider is no longer in business and the letter of credit is exhausted dealers are responsible for any Compensation Fund claims paid out over and above the letter of credit. As a result, dealers need to make inquiries with their warranty providers on a frequent basis to check on the status of their security or insurance. The following list is provided as a courtesy to dealers to assist them with compliance under the new MVDA requirements set out in Regulation 47. OMVIC does not regulate extended warranty providers nor will OMVIC recommend any particular extended warranty provider.

Canadian Ports of Entry - for vehicle import 2012
Before you leave the US with your vehicle, you must ensure that the vehicle is properly exported. US Customs requires all documentation to be submitted at least 72 hours before you intend to export your vehicle. At this point US Customs ensures the vehicle is not stolen or has any liens against it. Once you are cleared, the ownership paperwork will be cross-checked for accuracy and stamped for export by US Customs. While Canada Customs checks for the US Customs export paperwork, many consumers have reported this step is routinely bypassed by Canada Customs agents. In other cases, the importer was turned back to the US. It's best to ensure your vehicle is properly documented for export.
Most Canadian ground-based ports of entry permit vehicle importation 24/7 but some US Customs facilities only permit exports during certain business hours.
Note, this list is subject to change. For the most current list check this the US Customs site
Please contact the US Customs office where you wish to cross with any updated requirements.
The Vehicle Export Offices are typically closed on Federal Holidays and weekends

- The Vehicle Export Worksheet (click here to download). The owner or purchaser of the vehicle is responsible for the accuracy of the information provided. Failure to accurately fill out the work sheet or choosing not to use it may result in the inability to process your request. This could then result in you arriving at the border and not being permitted to export the vehicle and/or you receiving a fine or penalty.
- A copy (front and back) of the Vehicle Title, Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) or certified copy of the same from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). If you are bringing in a salvage vehicle, you must supply a copy of the Salvage Title. If the title is NOT in your name, then on the Title the seller must sign as the seller, and your name must appear as the buyer. Partial submissions are not allowed.
Vehicles not requiring a Title - if you are exporting equipment that does not require a Title, you must complete the "No Title Required" Addendum (click here to download). - A copy of the Bill of Sale.
- Loans/liens - by signing off their interest on the original Title, the lien holder indicates that the loan has been satisfied. If the lien has not been removed, but the lien holder does not object to export, then you must obtain from the lien holder a Letter of Permission on their company letterhead allowing you to export the vehicle from the United States. This Letter of Permission must bear an original signature of the lien holder and the date when it was signed. In addition to the Letter of Permission, you must obtain a Certified Screen Print of the title information from the DMV (the title information, NOT the registration information), and it must have affixed to it an original signature of a DMV official. Faxes of the Letter of Permission and the Certified Screen Print are acceptable to initiate the clearance checks.
DO NOT submit your Recall Clearance Letter to the U.S. CBP office, as it is not required.
Assuming your documentation above is accurate and complete, a CBP official will begin the export checks which are completed within 72 hours of receipt of your fax. DO NOT contact the Whitlash office for confirmation, as it is extremely busy (processing up to 200 applications daily). A CBP official will instead contact you if there are any problems with your submission, so be sure to include your contact information. We suggest you supply the telephone numbers for your home, work and mobile phone, as well as an e-mail address if you have one. If the CBP official cannot reach you, the 72-hour export check will not begin.
Please note that the owner/agent of the vehicle must supply the ORIGINALS of all documents above in person at the Port where you are crossing at the time of export.
