One thing thisdollar is causing is CDN's heading down to the USA to buy luxury vehicles and SUV's. I was looking at a lexus IS 250 and could save over $15,000 buying in US. Problem is many dealers have been told they can no longer sell to CDN's. What happened to free trade?

Do you not have to pay an import tax when doing this?

Nope you just pay the 6% GST and $100 airconditioning tax and $5 a tire recycling fee.Once you have the car you bring to a local CDN tire to get certified for $100. You may have to add a daytime running light switch too. But thats cheap.

Hoping to get a used IS250 if no dealer sells me a new one
