There is a Pontiac Buick dealership in Abbotsford, BC and just over 20 km south is a Chevy Buick dealership in Lynden, Wash. It is cheaper south of the 49th parallel but that dealership doesn't sell to canadian residents because it would violate the terms of the dealership. Still there are some companies that will sell regardless.

"But several auto manufacturers are sticking to a policy prohibiting U.S. dealers from selling to Canadians, who see thousands of dollars in savings on dealer websites. Dealers claimed that Honda U.S. had threatened to close down their dealership if they do sell new vehicles to Canadians. http://www.thestar.com/business/2007...car_deals.html
