What will I have to pay in taxes/customs to buy a car from the US?

[Z24]

Anyone done this or know exactly what the taxes and duty costs are for buying a car from the US and getting it shipped up here to Calgary? Thinking of getting the IS 250.

Thanks

On some thread on Beyond, someone said some car dealerships wont sell cars to Canadian Citizens cause they realize the amount of savings buyin from US dealerships instead of Canada...

Odd..

If someone from the states came up here to buy something off me, that was more in the states - I'd be more than happy to sell it to them.

I'd just wonder what the problem is with those people in the states that wont come down in price.
