Also, BC Toyota dealerships have what they call Access pricing. Basicly the charge everyone the full MSRP for their Toyota's hence ripping off everyone evenly! Anyways, I've found that there seems to be TCH's sitting on dealer lots in California just waiting to be sold. With the strengthing of the Can$, I'm thinking of a mini vacation where I would fly one way to LA and drive home. So... I was looking for any info anyone else may have on importing a TCH.
It can be done, just not sure it can be done with a brand new car.
Here's some reading for you. Importing new cars from the U.S. There's a lot to go through 153 pages of responses.

Not sure how you go about purchasing said vehicle. I once asked a Toyota salesman in Calgary, what was to stop me from going down south and getting a much better price and as it turns out a fully functioning navigation system.

His response which could be complete b*llsh*t was they have an agreement with Toyota U.S.A. that they won't sell new vehicles to Canadians.

I would have thought any sale is a good sale.
