Default Re: Great cars for sale!

Shopping for cars in the states, i've been finding that with the strong Canadian dollor lots of Canadians are gobbling up anything they can get there hands on. Allas they are getting stopped at the border to find a 3wk waiting list to bring them into Canada. As such the Canadians are getting frustrated and not bothering. Which is what the American government is hoping for as they are trying to stop their vehicles from leaving their country. Hmmmm sour grapes, the states have been doing it to us for many years, now when someone does it to them they get all pissy. As far as new vehicles the manufacturers are not hounoring any warrentys on american vehicles bought in the states and residing in Canada. Canadians are in an uproar as there is as much as 10's of thousands differences in price when the dollor is basically at par. Which proves that for yrs American car manufacturers have been giving it to Canadians.

I call BS! fact is the red tape on the Canadian side is stupid and the average guy cannot navigate it, I recently had my truck sold to a guy in Vancouver and after 2 weeks of him being on the phone most of day he could not get all the answers and paperwork to make sure he could bring it home without getting stuck at the border with a truck he owns but cant bring across legally, and he didnt want to pay a broker to bring it across and I cant blame him for that, I wouldnt either, they should have a folder of the rules and forms to follow for the average person. I may be wrong but I hear to often the same story of guys having trouble getting a car across, a bill of sale, title and some border paperwork/fee's should make it easy ??
