[QUOTE="flyboy999, post: 70939, member: 2330"] [b]RE: Purchase of 2015 Z06[/b] Hi AllFlash, Thanx for the reply. Yeah, I am pondering the whole U.S. vs. Canada purchase issue. With respect to the exchange, well, since my intention is to register it in Montana, (that's where I have an address) where there is no sales tax, the difference between exchange and tax reduction ("evasion" depending on your perspective) pretty much cancels the two out. In addition to no sales tax there is no equivalent of GST, so that's the 10% right there. One question I had is with respect to MSRP.
