lots of ppl do that ^^, seems pretty profitable.. but only when the dollar is close to even, which hopefully will be in the summer. Go china selling treasury bonds.

I also think you need to be canadian to import then sell a vehicle.. or the other way around. could be wrong tho.

 

^^LOL. yeah, me and my friend were looking at new ones or i guess the MY08 and they are selling in arkansas for 29,900.

 

$50,600 CAD is $40,540 USD. MSRP for the S in the US is $34,995 USD. It's substantially more, but not as ridiculous as you make it sound. Countries like Taiwan get taxed like crazy for certain import cars. Why, the lowest trim Accord costs $27,250.65 USD.

Actually, I don't know how much $50k CAD is actually worth to you guys as far as living goes. I'm assuming it's relatively the same as in the US.

 

all import cars in vietnam has to pay a 200% tax!!

 

damn! that is very high! lol

 

Ya, exactly, I don't know what the big deal is personally.

This has been brought up numerous times on this forum.

The gap in US and Canada has to do with foreign exchange rates, and ya da ya da ya da. Dealers in Canada are perfectly aware of customers crossing the border and bringing cars back even though the owners will get taxed again, and would need to do small conversions (ie. French warning labels for airbags, DRL, etc). Hence the actual dealing prices are far lower than the MSRP you see on those stickers

Anyway, US really is one of the cheapest places to get cars. FYI, S2000s in Hong Kong go for 59,000USD new. E92 M3s are listed as 180K USD, 911 turbo are are whooping 300K USD ... Singapore ... lets not even go there ...

 

or like having warranty

no hardtop option and titanium shiftknob costs 340$
