Amen to that.
Interesting. Most dealers here get maybe two. I'm sure others in the southern part of the USA get more because they can sell more, but not as many as you are able to see in Canada.

Amen to that brother.
I am in the same boat.
Orchard ford yes, I always forget the other one on enterprise way exists. I know BB are on here but only ever seen his son post. I tried once with a gt350 in 2017 and a few others I know have tried on 350s and Raptors which were all msrp+5k. I dont fault them for it, I just personally wont deal with adm, and these days I wont consider even buying a new car period so doesn't matter to me anymore ha
There is a dealer in Alberta doing nearly 20k off brand new 2017 GT350s lol. 2018s are 5-6k off. Sherwood Ford. They also have 2 GT350Rs at MSRP. No bites
Yes but not in 2017 I assume, all BC dealers are doing msrp or less at this point, even on Raptors
and why exactly cant Americans buy up north and bring them down?
Because it violates the Ford franchise agreement.
Whatever you gained in buying the car in Canada would probably be eaten up in additional taxes and customs charges.
Well I know tons of americans buy used vehicles from us, especially trucks. I know on our end bringing a us car up here there are no customs charges just tax.
But brand new, not sure, ive heard of people doing it but never seen it first hand.
The problem happens when you have a friend buy and register the car in Canada and then resale it immediately to you in the US. You have to pay your friend back for all the fees and taxes he paid and then turn around and register the sale in your name and pay all the taxes and license fees in your state. How much does it cost in Canada for all the fees and taxes required to buy the car? Chances are that they will amount to more than an ADM.
Checked with all 5 local dealers within a 60 mi radius and was told that they will be charging an ADM on any GT500's they are allocated. Two of these dealers never charged an ADM before the GT350.
Since I have never paid an ADM, is the ADM added to the value of the car? If so, your registration, license fees and sales tax will also increase, not to mention all future registration fees. It's the gift that keeps on taking your money.

interesting.. so if i live in a state, or at least register the car in a state that has no tax, ( as I do both) i could potentially save some $$.. may have to look into this
In MA anyway, whatever you are actually paying for the car minus trade in, you pay sales tax on. We don't pay a different price for registration. It is the same no matter what car we buy. I'm sure that the insurance companies will not insure for the added ADM. That being said, paying $20,000 or more over the sticker price is just ridiculous. Let those that buy them that way, look at them in their garages and put 100 miles on them in five years then sell them for $40,000 less than they paid for it.
My 2014 has 16,000 miles on it and it is paid for.
