Buying a B in Canada

Does anyone have a personal knowledge or experience purchasing a B in Canada vs the U S ? Are there $$$$ advantages of purchasing in Canada due to the strong U S dollar or do the legal issues of a purchase out of the country outweigh financial considerations? Thanks.
  • This question comes up once in a while- the CDN version des not meet US DOT standards and needs some modifications to the lighting, safty equipment and possibly the emissions depending on the vehicle.
    AFAIK the Cdn manufacturers will not sell a US spec version within Canada

    there are also tax obligations on self importing a vehicle, for that you would need the specific everything and run it past ICE.

    Myself and my Family have been crossing the border with vehicles since the 60's it has not gotten any easier.

    I wasn't trying to be mean. It's just that your answer did not address the question. You are not useless to me at all,it was the response that was useless. Sorry if I offended you,it was not personal or my intention. Please reread the question as I am certain you have knowledge that would be helpful. Thanks.
