The other factor is the cost of upgrading is also more expensive in Canada. 90% of the aftermarket parts originate in California & we get the 30 - 100% maple leaf tax.

As above re importing. The thing I learned about buying south was to see & drive the car before you invest in a PPI. I spent $800 USD + + (when it was 30%) before one passed. I passed on 3 cars I had checked. At the very least, have a local Pelican or Rennlister see it & take pics before you do anything. Of course, I even did that on a private sale in Houston (pre-Katrina) & it failed leakdown.
