I realize this topic could probably fit into one of the current threads about vehicles, but I thought it may be different enough to warrant its own.

Does anyone, or has anyone, brought brand new cars in from the US, specifically to sell them in Canada? With the dollar where its at, now seems like the time to consider something along these lines.

What fees, besides GST does one have to consider? How much does it cost to ship a vehicle, and is that the best way to get it here (the other way being to drive it across the border). Are banks willing to hand out financing to people looking to get into this business?

Any info is appreciated.
