Sounds like a good business opportunity. Set up a relationship with an exporter in Japan to bring 15 year old cars over and license them in Canadia.

If only those tricks worked here

That's because the majority of cars brought here are bought at auctions in Japan. Ever been to an auction in Canada? Take a wild guess what kind of cars end up there... it's exactly the same. If you want a clean example, it cost more, but you can get a broker to find a car either at a reputible used dealer or private seller from Japan, otherwise you get what you pay for with auction cars.

I have very close connections with Adam@ feastautoexport
Now he spends alot of time trying to send quality cars to customers in canada. There is quite a difference between exporters and importers.

I live in montreal and we have alot of importers who bring in garbage, even though there cars are garbage people buy them because they rather pay a cheaper fee for a rhd sports car.

There are alot of good importers in Canada itself but a majority is crap.
