There is perception and reality, if you put a value on driving across, gas, exchange, time etc. In many cases we and many other Canadian business (in most situations given a opportunity) are not only cheaper, but a better alternative.

Give Canadian shops a chance before simply writing everyone off who helps support the community with knowledge and actually keeps inventory and stock in the country you reside and live in...

If I carry it and or have access I will beat any US price period. Done right, in our volume we dwarf most of the vendors in the USA or Canada for that matter. Let me know the price, I will calculate in CAD or better yet sell in in USD to the border and you can pick it up if that's better. What I will not do is fake invoices or other stuff that will be troubling with the Canada revenue agency.

I agree with you many things and items are cheaper in the US, milk,eggs, car parts for an FR-S shouldn't be one of them. They all come from the US factory's or distribution points. So if a US or Canadian supplier gives you a price it really depends on
a) how low they are willing to sell
b) service
c) includes duties,taxes etc.
d) is willing to make sure you are happy with your purchase, offer warranty support etc.

My 2 cents had to chime in sorry.

Thank you
