$3000 - no longer "free maintenance"
$10,000 total import costs
----------------------------------------------------------------
$75,000 - US car at converted CDN $ List (assuming dollar at .99 or par)
-$ 7,500 - standard US discount (based on other US members buys)
$67,500 - purchase price
+
$10,000 - Importation costs (including paying for maintenance)
$ 1,000 - shipping/transport
So call it $78,500 - $80,000 CDN to me - then add in the uncertainty of resale
Not much of a savings - more of a way to get a car more quickly, but it may not be worth the added hassle I agree, it's just the impatience thing again....
Thanks again for the feedback guys - this is why I joined the forum to do my research for my M
Appreciate it.
The search continues.....
