Should I buy a car in the US?
Well, I'm not quite ready to buy a new car... but I hope to do so next year. And I'm wondering if the Canadian dollar stays high and prices in Canada don't decline whether I should buy a car in the US and import it. Prices haven't declined in Canada as the dollar has risen against the US greenback, and as this Star article illustrates, you can get a better deal in the US. The average difference is actually 17%!
Pros:
-
Lower overall price - can be quite a difference, depends on model, and Cdn dollar.
Cons:
-
Manufacturers warranty may not be honoured - can sometimes purchase replacement warranties that would still be cheaper
Upgrades required to bring car to Canadian standards (e.g., daytime running lights)
Anyway, I don't know whether I'll buy new or used, but when I do, I'll have to look at buying a car in the US.
You shouldn't.
