^^ I don't know about your statement... all the used C63 I saw on Autotrader, when I was ready to purchase my 2010, was overpriced. It was almost a no brainer to go for a new car.

Wow. I've never seen this before at all and I live just a few minutes from the border. I think it doesn't need to be said that if you insure your car in WA and are not in fact resident there, the insurance company will make every effort to deny you should you ever file a claim.

Before I ordered my car, I tried to see what used C63's were selling for. I found 2 if I recall, in the span of a couple of months, with essentially no discount large enough to offer an incentive to not buy new. In fact, the other day I saw one in the Province going for $67,000.

I also got 5% off my 2010 back in May. It took a lot of negociations, but I was also happy with it.

As someone that has bought a US car and sold it in canada, you don't take a huge hit on the back end. Maybe a grand or two below an equivalent Canadian car, but that would be worst case scenario (unless you walk into a dealer and take whatever they give you.
Do what you want to do, but I guarantee money will be saved by going to the US. People that are concerned about warranty, the money that is saved is generally roughly equivalent to two full engine swaps.
It's really not a difficult process.
1) Go buy a car in the US
2) send title, sale agreement, recall clearance letter to CBSA
3) 72 hours later, drive the car over the border. (GST, duties)
4) get car inspected
5) go put a license plate on it (PST)
Total cost should be 20.4% above US value plus abuot $500 for fees on inspections and fixed CBSA costs.
