Ridiculous, I will have to call BS. Everybody needs insurance the costs are generally in savings for this vehicle high end are about 50 g in canada 38 g in US difference 12 G. Buy in a state you have relatives or do it on a vacation that was planned anyway. Come in through the AB border no HST,PST. All the updates in Canada are minimal to the savings. GST and duty total about 10 11 percent on price, got to pay GST anyways. So 12 G in savings subtract these costs to import I think you still come out ahead. probably enough to cover vacation you may have bought it on.

Wow, why didn't I think of that before? I should have just gone to AB and bought my car and saved 8%! It's not like they'd charge me any tax when I go to register the car in Ontario, and not like I'd ever run into any issues if I left AB plates on it! Wish I'd thought of that!
