Shortage of used Roadsters?

Zipper 104 · 11-26-2014, 04:01 AM

Up here in BC verts account for close to half the available 370s for sale right now. When I was looking for my coupe I looked in WA state but I didn't think there was much money to be saved importing a new one so I bought up here. That ought to tell you that when a seller sees you're serious and gets real on their price combined with the 10% premium on your dollar versus ours nowadays might make looking up here worth your time. I'm not sure what the rules are for importing a car into the states from up here, but it can't hurt you to find out.
Our climate in the BC Lower Mainland is the same as yours in the Pacific NW and most, if not all 370 owners up country don't drive theirs in winter anyway, so it just might make looking further afield worth your while too.
Just Google '370Z for sale in BC', or '370Z for sale in Alberta'. There's lots of 'em for sale up here. I just looked. AutoTrader has close to a dozen roadsters of all years for sale right now in BC. Most of them are inside of a couple hundred miles from you.

104,

Thanks for the advice. Not sure why my AutoTrader is not picking up BC, or Canada. Perhaps, I need to change a setting in my profile? I do use All of Craigslist, as an alternative, but it's not preferred.

Great tip to go north!
