[QUOTE="EJChevy, post: 211009, member: 3417"] Simply playing devil's advocate here... One can buy a new vehicle in the USA and bring it to Canada. You would have to pay cash or get a private loan. If the USD drops 30% from where it is now, that would put it at about 0.95 on the Canadian dollar. Pretty much Parody. If you bought a base model, and this were to happen today, you'd buy it for $58,900 USD, or $55,955 CAD. Compared to $69,988 CAD, that's not bad. You may end up needing to pay the tax down in the USA. It would probably depend on the dealership you go to and the State laws. You'll still have to pay HST when you come back to Canada. Plus $195 RIV fee, $100 A/C. Luckily, the C8 Corvette is fuel-efficient enough, there's no gas guzzler tax. Might not be the case for a Z06. Doesn't seem like a crazy idea. Probably a lot of hoops to jump through and finding a dealership that'll work with you. [/QUOTE]
