I told you that it's been sitting at port (NS) for the last month.

The question is how many people you <b>don't see</b> because of the price difference.

Though if the business is good, I wouldn't even worry about that if I were you.

PS. Your response was, by the way, completely unrelated to what I posted, which was about comparing a Canadian S5 lease with a credit line financed purchase of a car in US (followed by selling a car in 3 years). That's not too mention that some banks, like Royal, offer balloon financing, which is as closed to the lease as it gets.

We border the US... have access to US cars... have a choice to purchase...

It's pretty well fully loaded, less the options for NAV and the driver assist stuff.

I still wonder why NAV is an option at this level of a car though, when you see NAV becoming standard options on other cars in lower segments.

I don't believe that everything should be included... it's nice to have a choice.

Not sure who'd buy the 3.2 TT when you can have this puppy!

Such as the sunroof, know many would love to have a sunroof delete option.

You would really only save about 7k if you buy from the U.S. And when you are ready to sell your car, I'm sure you wil lose some based on the fact that it is a U.S. model.

I would say the car is priced just right. Makes me wonder how much the next gen. A4/S4 will cost.
