Thoughts on used trucks that were owned in Canada, bought at auction and then brought stateside (or whatever that exact process is)? Looking at a few, but a quick Google fu raises the common sense issue of potential rust from de-icing materials, general tougher wear/tear due to climate, etc. etc. etc.

I know the exchange rate is favorable for importing vehicles from the land of denim tuxedos and french fries and gravy, so should I expect to pay a similar market rate for a U.S. used truck? Or should I theoretically be able to play hard ball for a better than average deal?

On a secondary note... anybody have a 2012 or newer F150 Boost with less than 90k on the odo they're interested in selling? Looking for crew cab, 4x4, preferably long bed, but I know those are the rare exception. I'm in NW CO but I'm willing to travel to take delivery.

One of the hottest Canadians ever for your troubles...

I have bought thousands of Canadian cars and imported them. There are lots of rules about what you can or can't bring over as far as models, years, etc but for a personal car it's a little different.

Three things to remember... if you buy a late model car under warranty, your warranty will not be honored here. Two, the equipment used to diagnose issues, esp anything related to ECU stuff is coded diffferent and most places can't read them. Third is that EVERYTHING rusts. Rotors, calipers, everything. And it rusts very quickly and once it starts you can't stop it.

And dont ever trade it in. Worthless here in the states. Make sure you look into conversion of the cluster too. Some states won't let you title and or register in kilos.

You are welcome to email me any other questions direct! I'm like the Tim hortons of the car biz.
