Default Broker options

Guys, I'm thinking of buying from the states and would prefer to hire a Broker to take care of everything for me, any recommendations on who to talk to?

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks Dave, I'll check them out. Did they negotiate and do the purchase and everything on your behalf, or did you have to go down and buy it first?

He did the purchase on my behalf. Actually he purchased the vehicle, brought it back then sold it to me but we agreed on the price before hand. I was one of the first S2000's he brought into Canada and I think I got a really good deal. From what I understand some others after me felt his pricing was a bit high. I basically told him exactly what I was looking for. He found about 5 examples, I picked the best one and we purchased it. I gave him a $2,000.00 deposit. He took care of everything, all I had to do was find my way to his business and pick up the car, write him a cheque and I was driving home.

Just do it yourself. Why would you waste money on a broker? Its easy as hell. Doesnt that eliminate the reason to get it from the states in the first place??

Some (me) would rather pay someone to take care of it. Make sure it is done right with no hassles. I still saved about 4k.

I agree, and with the prices up here right now I should end up saving a fair bit and get more value.
