at retails listed price.....US dealers are alot more aggressive with negotiating. there are reports of people buying at under dealer invoice price. You can assume a 3k rebate if your negotiating skills are decent. In Canada you'd be lucky to get 500-1000$ of sticker price. Montreal which serices around 2 million people has 4 lexus delaerships. Jersey must have close to 20. My question is, if someone in the US buys it then it will be registered and titled to their name, that will seriously complicate matters when iporting it to canada. Especially that US customs requires a 72 hr minimum notice (with title) when exporting a car from the US. I don't think that having someone else buy the car for you will be the solution. How would the car get signed over to you (the canadian)? But I do know of some people who went to the US to buy scion xB's cause we dont have those in canada, how did that do through? eric in montreal. Eric, I know someone in MTL who is bringing my IS250 AWD luxury package + NAV from Massachusetts. Final Price 51k CAD landed at my place. This includes Massachusetts sales tax 5% Canada Customs Duty 6.1% GST PST Transport Inspection MSRP in Canada is 54k + Tax Anoop

I am in Montreal & I tried buying an IS250 AWD from USA. Every Lexus dealers I emailed refused to sell to Canadians. They have an franchise agreement with Lexus USA. Every car they sell to Canadian they get penalized 2 cars from future allotments. Someone In the US has to buy the car for you and then you can import to Canada. Oh yeah you'll have to pay state taxes. I am still looking for my IS250 AWD. Anoop
