PRICE OF US MONEY!
OMFG!!!
I put a bill on my Visa and it was 1.22 for each dollar!
Granted, I am paying probably a 2 or 4 cent premium to do it thru Visa but still, the price of US money is EXPENSIVE!
When I bought my car for 15 000.00 it cost me $150.00
Keep this in mind for anyone wanting to import/export cars!

I used to ive in upstate, ny, and we would often visit toronto, we would get 1.35 CA for a us dollar ( 2001). Last year, canadian currency was worth more than ours, we were getting like 90 cents (CA)to a US dollar.

From my calculations, if I were to buy my car today from the US, I would have had to spend over $3k more. I'm glad I pulled the trigger when our dollar was around parity with the US.

I'm assuming 0.8 exchange rate so the equation would be x=4y, where y is the amount of your savings and x is your purchase price.

the reason s2k's were so cheap in the first place was because they were so easy and inexpensive to import considering our CDN$.
Now, the CDN $ isn't good and it's no longer worthwhile to import. As we all know, the majority of s2k's are currently in the USA mind you quite a few have been imported to Canada since our dollar began to rise.
At this time, the value of our cars are as much as others here in Canada.
