There are a few...
1. U.S. dealers are required by their franchise agreement to deliver a car to a buyer with a U.S. address. That's not to say you can't come home with a "new" car bought at a U.S. dealership, but you would need an American friend or relative to buy the vehicle for you and then turn around and sell it to you as a used vehicle.

2. It is far simpler to buy a used vehicle in the U.S. and import it. If driving the car over the border, all the completed paperwork must be in the hands of customs officials at your crossing point, I believe 48 hrs. in advance of entering Canada. I'm pretty sure you'll need to apply for a temporary permit in order to drive it in Canada after crossing the border.

3. Sales Tax... best bet is to buy the vehicle in a state where there is no sales tax on vehicle purchases (i.e. Pennsylvania). Upon importation into Canada, you will be required to pay whatever taxes are applicable in your province on the vehicle.

4. Warranty... not all manufacturers maintain the same rules involving warranty coverage on imported vehicles that come into Canada. If I'm not mistaken, if a GM vehicle that is manufactured for use in the U.S. is imported into Canada, there is a 6 month waiting period during which the warranty on the car is not valid in Canada. After 6 months, I think the warranty becomes valid in Canada.

Those are the major issues, but there are others as well.

thanks. generally very happy with it. I will be getting your new one (most likely) for the new 50th.

one issue I had was moving the maf . the wires were very tight and I felt they were too stressed. don't know whether that was my car or your design.
