officially designated as BS.
The tanked dollar is probably the largest consideration. I no longer buy anything from the US on EBAY and have been amazed to find some good deals on custom wheels etc.- Right here in Canada! The crooks at UPS must be feeling the pinch on the prior windfall they received in brokerage fees.
As stated before on this thread the bumper issue is dead 5 mph = 8 kph, I understand that the light issue is a matter of reprogramming. Canadian Tire is the licensed tester for these US cars. Other threads have said they had no problem, but others got hassled at the border. Do your homework first and have the correct paperwork when you show up at the border with the car.
Look for this thread `How to bring a Xfire roadster into Ontario, Canada'
