    Hopefully these RIV employees are spending 99 minutes on this site trying to get information on how to bring a vehicle back into Canada from the US. After reading about the savings from buying in the US, all of their employees should be importing. When will the Canadian dealers start demanding proper pricing on their purchases from the manufacturers so they can be competitive? It would be nice to support these Canadian dealers, but their prices are so out of line with the US dealerships.
