You may break even with your deal but many won't. The point I'm trying to make is that it may look like a great savings initially but come resale you take the hit. It happens and is not BS. Talk to some people who have tried to sell their US cars.
I plan to keep the car for years so I'm not overly concerned about resale. If I was to resell I do believe that I would have to sell it for cheaper than a comparable Canadian car. However, with the savings I had upfront I could sell for considerably cheaper than any Canadian car and still break even. I wouldn't recommend people do this to try and make money. I don't think the numbers are there to make a business out of it, but for personal use I think it adds up nicely.
