I'm not so sure it's saving me THAT much right now I'm just getting a car with much lower mileage and get to pick colour. I saw an 08 for 48k in Vancouver and now i saw an 07 with 40k km's for 49. First time I've seen them under 50-50. The ones in the states all seem to be 36 for highish miles to low 40s for a lower mile 06/07. So there is about a 10k difference from what I've seen, but the trip and importing will eat up a few from that. Still worth it for sure.

I'm sure he was *****. I do have shops in Canada that buy virtually all their GM parts (except for the stuff needed immediately) from us for this exact reason.
