I think most people forget to add, at least in Ontario, the extra 19.5% in duties in taxes, plus additional registration and paperwork fees, to the cost of the car.
IMO, that combined with the additional headache, tends to make the price differential negligible.
Throw in the resale value issue and I find it hard to justify importing - but I know others feel differently, just my two cents.
I think patience is key. Wait for the right car, trust me it will show up.
