     Americans are far better off buying a car in Canada, I think. That
     $29K R/T could be had for $19,720 at .68 conversion. And that is
     sticker price. Not sure about paying duty and all that stuff, but it's
     better for US to buy stuff here, than us to buy down there. My truck @
     29,300 could be had for 19924 US. For the 26K I paid, that's 17,680
     US. I don't think anyone could get a mostly loaded CC R/T for $17,680
     US buy going to a US dealer.
     
     
     Trent, when I get stuff from the States, I have it sent to Sumas, WA,
     and it's a 5 min. drive from my house to Sumas, where I pick it up at
     a brokerage firm which merely acts as a drop point. A US mailbox works
     the same way. Carry it across the border, and no brokerage fees. Easy.
