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.

Just to be clear:
GST = Federal Sales Tax (8% of the value in CAD including shipping)
PST = Provincial Sales Tax (x% of the value in CAD including shipping)
Duty = Import tariff charged by the Federal Gov't
Duty on most things automotive coming from the States is 0% - but it all depends on the country of origin. Something purchased in the States that was made say in Taiwan, might in fact be subject to duty.
