Subject: car buying in Canada
Does it make more sense to by a car in the US before moving to Canada to avoid Canadian tax rates or is it more economical to by there due to the exchange rate of the US dollar?
Does buying new or used make a difference?

david ingram replies:
If you do not have a car now, wait until you get to Canada. New and used cars are generally cheaper and you know it qualifies for importation into Canada.
A caution though. If there is a chance you might move back to the US, make sure that the car you are buying will qualify for you to take back. The dealer for that car can verify it for you although they may make you deal directly with the manufacturer.
