Default Buying over Borders
Seeing as how C4s in the Ontario (Canada) area seem very overpriced, is it worth it for Canadians to buy C4s in the States?

What must one consider before buying across the border?

What fees or duties must be paid when bringing the car back to Canada?

Can anyone shed some light on this or tell their story
