Man the exchange rate is under 1.15 and I have seen a C6 corvette for 77K canadian. I also saw a used C6 Corvette for 69K.
It would be alot cheaper to buy a brand new corvette in the USA then ship it back to Canada.

 

You might want to research that carefully. As I understand it a Canadian can't drive a U.S. registered vehicle into Canada. The question I asked Canada Customs ... "if I borrow a friends vehicle in the U.S. and show up at the border what would happen? Answer: "You'd get turned back".

 

If you think that that's bad, I saw two C6's at the local Chevy dealer. Both of them were $84k+. They had no Z06's in the showroom.

 

There might be something to that. A few years ago when I was doing another long stint in the US I wanted to take my company car back home to Ontario. As soon as I got to customs and said I lived in Ontario, he got very serious about why my car had US plates (and was obviously not a personal car). The only way he let me through was because I said I'd just be driving it directly to my home and then driving my other car for pleasure. But I was able to do that a few more times without ever getting turned back.

Maybe the trick would be to get a US coworker to drive it over for me, and then never use it to cross the border again ...

 

There is also a thing called taxes. They tax your vehicle, from what I understand, on top of the 15% GST and PST. They want to discourage car import/export, hence the regulations.

Just 2 years ago I was looking at exporting Mercedes E-Class from Germany to Canada... I could get them 10K-15K cheaper there than here. Even shipping and paperwork and modifications did not amount to that much, but the headaches to be incurred at the border made it totally not worth it.

 

Importing from Europe is a different ballgame. You get into the tariff/duty stuff then. Domestics from the US fall under NAFTA.

Importing a used domestic from the U.S. .... at least into Manitoba ... is not a big deal. $209 to RIV, 7% GST at the border, 7% PST in Manitoba, $60 Manitoba Safety inspection, $8 a day temporary registration and insurance while wating for the RIV paperwork ... saved money in the bank.
