1.  First see www.riv.ca to see if it is importable  and what you have to do to import it.
2.  See : http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/export/export_docs/motor_vehicle.xml  for exporting it from the US, don't forget you will have to have clear title.
3.  By the way you are probably better off buying used in Canada, see Autotrader.ca for idea of the pricing.
