JDM cars that become legal in Canada in 2027

  • The date that counts is the month of manufacture on the build plate, not the first registration on the auction sheet. We read the plate on every car.
  • Quebec registers right-hand-drive cars only at 25 years; every other province follows the 15-year rule.
Month by month

Rolling in during 2027

Each bar runs from the first month of 2027 that one of the car's 2012 builds becomes eligible to the last. Striped ends mean the run's final month is not confirmed, so the plate decides.

Already in

Eligible before 2027

Every build of these cars, made in 2011 or earlier, is old enough by January 2027.
