Re: Question on Buying a Car in Canada
Pro: may be cheaper, may have amenities not available in US.
Con: No support for 'gray market' cars from AHM, i.e. warranty or service support. Dealer service may be less than expected on gray market car. dano wrote: > Hello, > I was curious if anyone has looked into the pros/cons of buying an > automobile across the border in Canada and bringing it into the USA?

Re: Question on Buying a Car in Canada
Don't forget the extremely high use taxes on everything one buys
in Canada. Last summer when I was in Montreal the prices for hotels and food were 10 to 20% more than the US and there was about a 15% tax on everything. They charge 3% more if one paid in American dollars or used a US credit card. Some places even would not give you change for American dollars. If the bill was for say $20 Canadian they would take an American $20 but not give you any change. At that time an American $20 would get you $28 Canadian, at a bank, even after the exchange fee. Somebody has to pay for that 'free' medical care I guess. ;) mike hunt TomP wrote: > > Pro: may be cheaper, may have amenities not available in US. > Con: No support for 'gray market' cars from AHM, i.e. warranty or service > support.
