Eitherway I don't see how it could be $17,000 in taxes/duty.. .anything less than that and you've gotten the car cheaper than you can in Canada.

No taxes is sales taxes and duty is a fee that the border will charge you for shipping through there customs and there end of the border.
They'll f*** ya ever way they can to get a buck. Thats the American way.

I thought Sales tax was PST, and Duty was GST. Whenever I import anything, the duty is no more than the tax would have been, half the time it's usually just 7%.

As for shipping, what if you just drove down and picked it up?
