Guys

It may be a scam and you do have to be careful but I and others have bought a ton of vehicles from the states and brought them up to Canada when the dollar was at par. We always went down to see them, unless it was from a dealer we had dealt with before and trusted, so one thing to watch for is if the buyer is buying privately, sight unseen that is a BIG red flag.

With the U.S. dollar being 30% more than Canadian it is not hard to believe that someone would be willing to buy one here and take it to the States. $25,000 Canadian is only $17,500 U.S.. There are Americans buying pickups and heavy equipment up here every day, especially at the auctions and taking them south to make the money on the dollar spread.
