I do this with wrecked cars and have them towed up.
Its not THAT much cheaper, and most of the cars are way higher mileage (at least compared to vancouver).
Cost of car
+ exchange rate
+ 6% duty if its not US built
+ 6% GST on top of the duty (yes, a tax on a tax. only in canada...)
+ 7% PST (BC)
+ $280 to RIV
+ $80-$100 Provincial Inspection
+ Transport to pick up the car
+ Transport back
+ Temporary permits to drive the car back
+ Temp permits to drive the car to the inspections
+ Installation of daytime running lights (I do this myself)
+ The cars are absolutely NOT in better shape...
