Help me understand, any downside I'm not considering to buying and importing a vehicle from the US instead of just buying in Canada?
- Manufacturer's Canadian price is much higher than just CAD to USD, so good savings by exchanging to USD manually
- Transport (not that far, fun fall road trip)
- Interest rates high enough that I wouldn't want to finance it anyway
- US-made vehicle, no tariff
- Super close to Canada spec vehicle, very minor certification needed
- Warranty still valid in Canada
