teach me Obi-wan
What would it cost me to have a guru like you give me a hand?
I am at wits end. I know everything is easier the 2nd time, but I only want to do this once, and I am running out of options. Not to mention of course that I live in Northern Alberta, I am running out of summer.
Got a phone # I can call you at? PM me if you would let me chat with you about this, please.

Good questions- will try them one at a time.
That sounds great, but the trouble is I have to go through dealer financing for a car that expensive, today anyway. Can you PM me a phone # for the AO vette?
Thanks for the reply, you must be originally from Montana. They are the nicest people, on a whole that I have ever met.

i will get you the guys cell phone number . he is not working today but will be there monday. it may well be a 05 also. it was about a month ago and i have seen many since then. price wise it will be less than 40k for sure. if these things have that much of a difference i better figure this border issue out and start doing what lots of whslrs are allready doing.
i could make some huge $$$$ in short order with 20k a car profit 
sure beats the few grand a copy selling them here 
do other things like trucks and such have that big of spread also ?? i have lots of people from Alaska buying vehicles from me here in Portland because the dlrs there dont discount i guess. and we have had several phone calls from Canadians about weather or not we export to there so must be more than just the Corvette.i actually was born in Vancouver, Wa. and now live in Oregon. i do however have a very good friend that lives in Montana
never been there myself but everyone says its very pretty there.

You can pick up a nearly new C6 under a lease , assume the lease, and then buy it at the end of the lease.

Having just imported my car from the US a month ago, I'd say it was very easy to do. 2 things made it a lot easier for me. I bought a model (2001 Coupe) that required no mods to be legal here and I got an auto transport company to handle the border and drop off the car locally at a bonded warehouse.
I did have to pay for the car up front but that's what credit lines are for and I saved $8K. There are lots of C5's in good shape selling for low 20's US right now. I would do this again in a heartbeat if the exchange rates stay the same.

I'm in Montreal,,, I know many people that have bought US cars. Yes there's a handful of paperwork but in general there was no problems. They did have to leave the car in the US and bring all the paperwork to customs. Then 2 days later they drove the car home. Could be worth that extra effort.
