this car if in the states would be around $130,000 with options so that would be about $143,000 CAD and add the 18 percent duties and taxes it comes to $168,740 CAD and then add another $10,000 - $15,000 in converting it from US car to CAD car you get a car that is pretty much around $190,000CAD... just to save about $5,000 to go through all that trouble plus a lower resale on the car later on is just NOT WORTH IT... i do not recommand any fellow Canadians to bring brand new cars from the US... used cars are fine due to much more cars and much lower resale values of Porsches in the US...

Actually I was told by a US dealer that they are not allowed to sell to Canadians. Porsche (NA?) does not allow it. Not sure why.

Brand new cars? Or porsches in General?

My firend just bought an M6 from the states saved like 20 gs! If he would've bought one here, it also requires almost no conversion, somthing like 200 bux.

Some of this depends on the road qualities where you live, of course.

If you don't want to spend 997TT money, get a 996TT and dress it up. They are already wicked quick, can be tuned up to ungodly power for not too much $$$, and are fairly softly suspended in stock form.

My 2 cents.
Certainly worth considertion - Thanks.
