In Canada the prices tend to be higher due to the lower volumes etc. To pick up one from the states comes with it's own problems. There is a 6% duty, needs to be inspected by a Porsche DEALER ($1,300 CDN) before the release letter is issued. Rate of exchange is a factor as well. and a few others as well.

To check out the prices ... look at Autotrader.ca across the country. Figure you may drop the price by a grand or so to give you a good ball park value. Get to know an independant P-Car shop (PPI) and ask them what it's worth. They are usually in the know.
