Did you have a hard time with insections and whatnot getting it over the border? Did you go and pick it up yourself, or have it shipped and dealt with a broker. Im looking to buy in the next couple of years...

The car is priced C$10K over market based on Vancouver prices. Seems to me it is even more overpriced for back east. Doesn't even have 18" wheels!

I brought my car back myself from Detroit. It took a little pre-planning but not a huge deal. More running around and paperwork than anything.
Car price in US +
+Duty
$200 RIV registration
$100 A/C Tax
+ETest and cert.
+any conversions (daytime running lights etc.)

Canadian dealers get $30k to $40 k Cdn more for a new Porsche than US at the same cost. With the $.90 Cdn dollar, it just doesn't make sense, the differential does not justify it. On top of that, the volume of individuals that can afford a $90k car is more concentrated in the major Canadian cities than in the US. Porsche parts in Canada are rediculous as well. More and more US companies are pulling their manufacturing operations out of Canada because of the higher material cost. If the Canadian housing market tanks out like it did in 1990, there are going to be a lot of Porsches up for sale. Right now, the housing market is fueling the economy.
