+1 on US cars being tougher to sell in Canada. Yes, the "stealers" have a lot to do with this but they set the market too. I know many people who got offered 25% or more below Canadian Black Book value when they tried to tade in their US E46 M3 on the E9X at those scum bag dealers. The thing is the private market knows this too so why would one over pay for the US car knowing one day their resale would be hit too? It's the dealers up here who control this market and try to screw the guys importing from the US and so far they are winning, sadly. For example, one of the rules they tried to enforce was having to change the instrument cluster for thousands of dollars and US cars were sitting at the dealers for months waiting for this. Lots of horror stories out there about this.
Bottomline, unless you find a superb deal and keep your car for a long time, it's not worth importing.
