Tax implications - Importing car after becoming PR inland

So I just became PR this week, but when I drove to Canada from the US last year temporarily to visit my wife, I wasn't expecting myself to stay here so long due to the closed border and didn't report anything including my car on declarations when I entered last year. Is it possible that I can still import them after being a PR inland and utilize the tax benefits for my personal car as a settler?

And the second question is - if I have to pay tax on my car during a formal import, who decides the base value for my vehicle? It seems a pretty arbitrary thing and I don't know if the custom has a preferred database for used vehicle values.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
