Buying a car from Canada?
Other than a PPI, what goes into importing/buying a Canadian car?
I am starting to nose around for prepped cars with a cage and Bike Pump gave me a tasty lead on one in Canuckistan.

I was concerned with import laws, fees, or unanticipated snags.
I wonder what it would take to be road legal - I don't have a trailer or a truck, and no place to put both. Considering some ideas there also...

well I am sure we could manage a trailer for you - I would happily provide a truck loan and I think it would be a good road trip

mmm Slippery Slope! Hard to believe you can't find a car here in the US.. Especially this fall once the "season" is over for many and its either time to sell one car to get another.
