I think it is also worth pointing out that Canadian cars spend much of their life indoors.

Off the road for most of the year waiting for the snow to clear. Thats why many Canadian collectable cars are in better shape to begin with. Thats not intuitive to most buyers in teh US.

Also, (and Ive thought about this a lot) taking the mystery out of importing or providing a broker bonus or something may make an impulse buyer pull the trigger. Otherwise its just one more reason to hesitate.
