[QUOTE="Bilal388, post: 271810, member: 3780"] Hey guys, I have a C7 GS. Looking to get into a C8. A Z06 ideally but that is still up for debate Here is the situation: [LIST] [*]My brother works in the United States. Given the timeline for C8s over here, I was thinking of having him buy the car since it is available in the US. At least the stingray with multiple dealers giving me 3-4 months for delivery on a new order. [*]Z06 looks like 12-16 months from the various dealers I have called [*]The cheapest dealer that I have found is asking for 5K over MSRP for the Stingray and 15K over MSRP for the Z06. He gave me the 12-16 months timeline for the Z06 [*]My idea was to have him buy the car outright and register it here in Ontario. We have the same house address so I could just drive it once he plates it in Ontario [/LIST] [B]My questions to someone who has done this would be:[/B] [LIST] [*]He will be paying Sales tax in WA. Would he have to pay full HST when he transfers over here or the difference? [*]There are not any modifications that are needed. The process seems simple enough. Is there anything I am missing? From someone who has done this, how smooth did it go? [/LIST] I am going to be calling around different dealers in the US to get the best deal. Paying over MSRP is not something I usually do but if I can get it close to 5K for the Z06, I will do it. In total I am guessing the Z06 will cost me110K USD which would equate to about 140K CAD + Tax . Around 85K USD + Tax for the Stingray. Thanks a ton! [/QUOTE]
