Also you must inlcude about $1500 for towing.
And you will need to give customs at least 72 hours notice, and you must have all your documentation ready..
All recalls and tsb's must be addressed, inspection certificate, emissions certificate. A dealer will have to provide you with this information.
Its easier to have someone who is already a broker, bring the vehicle in for you.
Do your research online, then look to purchase.

2008's can't be imported? How come? 
WOW... kind of a strong statement there Andy, I take it your not selling too many new these days. People are still buying lots of canadian cars on our end.
We have actually started to get a few that have been hosed on us rebuilds being sold from large local used car dealers not declaring the history.

cause the car has to be registered for 6 months I believe previously in the states, wait that time till someone is selling on 08 and you can import it.

all 2008 cars in canada must have an immobilizer. many in the US do not have the immobilizer OR the manufacturer has not done the paperwork to register them with the transportation ministry. conspiracy?

this new immobilizer thing is basically an agreement between auto manufacturers and politicians to screw canadians over from buying new cars in the USA. Anyways apparently there are aftermarket mods that can be done to add the immobilizer to the 08+ vehicles.

the seat belt thing can't be changed because it was manufactured that way, therefore most 2008's can't cross.

dude don't hate Canada, we are the most loved tourists in the world. Everyone and their brother hate the Americans. I personally have not beef with the Yanks.

I know, Canada has a lot going for it.
BUT, We desparately need to address how high our taxes are here in this country, especially for the highest income tax bracket. I call it the reside in Canada "membership fee". If you compare the tax structure of the states to that of Canada, for every 100K you make a year, there is an average 20K per year surcharge on extra income tax you pay in Canada. It's fine if you are in the middle income tax bracket, there is not enough of a difference to care or notice. But 300, 400, 500K will go a lot further in certain parts of the states than it will here in Canada.
This is why Canada cannot retain professionals. Another adjunct to the problem, is that the wealthier that wealthy people are, the more jobs are created. Wealthy people employ people. Relatively speaking, the middle income people of the country employ far far less.
Anyways, off soapbox now. I don't really hate Canada, it could just improve a bit.
