It seems the right time to buy car in the states. I want to buy a Subaru. Could anyone suggest a model for a family use and dealers. Is the complicated to pass the border? Thanks.
 
Please advise:
1. What are the benefits to buy car in States?
2. How much savings do we get, if any? Worth it or not if the net gain (after offsetting import tax, brokerage, foreign exchange and admin fee) is just a few hundred dollars or even a thousand?
3. Will the local dealer here in Ottawa willing to service your car since you did not buy from them, although they may not be able to reject you due to the manufacturing warranty and contract? Same applied even if you buy it from AB where the tax is lower.
4. Will there be any hidden costs charged by the local dealer here? And ended up that your car price is much higher than purchase it locally?
5. Consider 0% or 0.9% finance rate for 36 months or 60 months, can you get it in States? Most likely not. If you pay full for your new car, why not reinvest your money somewhere else in Canada by financing it?

This is the official website about the process of importing a car from abroad.

As for the dealer, I knew quite some people bought from this dealer when CAD was higher than USD in 2007.

Welcome to VAN BORTEL SUBARU

Subaru warranty works this way, you pay the local dealer first, then file a claim to Subaru US to get reimbursement, usually takes months.

We pay in what currency and they reimburse in what currency? A full reimbursement? Any admin charge? What items will be covered and what will not? Same terms of warranty and conditions as in Canada? We do not know all these details yet...

If the warranty is better than in Canada, then why our Canada dealers treat us with unfair trading?
