That was the subject on a canadian car show that passed on tv, just can't remember which one. It will probably pass again and i'll get the info. They actually talked about canadians buying thier cars south of the border. They said in all it did come cheaper than buying locally and by thousands. A lot of americain built cars have more options in their models in the United States than Canada. The problem was finding an americain dealership willing to do the paper work to cross the vehical over the border.
Some cars come with metric and imperial settings for the milage, and if they don't, the cost of a cluster surely is worth it.
It's becoming more popular now to see people importing their own cars now. My neighbour is from Sweden. He worked for a dealership back there that imports vehicals used and new from here that are not available there. He's actually sending his Murano to Sweden when he goes back.
Maybe just buying a car in another province of Canada can save you a provincial tax. My father did it for years, bought his cars in Ontario and drove them back to Québec on a transit. I know Québec obliges out of province vehicals an inspection now, so don't know if this still works. It would be good to find out.
