Hey all..
Gotta say first off, love the site, and have enjoyed looking at everyone's box.
SL is a great resource for someone like me, who has fallen in love with the xB since I first saw it at a concert in Grand Forks ND. I am currently in the process of arranging financing to bring a CM '05 up from Fargo. Within the last few weeks tho, I've noticed that a lot of dealers in Canada are starting to bring them up. Unfortunately, as you'll see, the prices they're charging are a little out of whack with what the price to get one, even for a hoser like myself should be... Just thought I'd let you know...

and another...http://www.canadatrader.com/result/r...&type=province
However, there is an RS02 that I would actually consider paying the money asked for...if it wasn't going to cost me an extra $5k to bring it in from Vancouver.
Again guys and gals, Happy to be here, and if I have any questions that search can't answer, I know all of you will be happy to help out...

It may be wiser to buy from down in the ststes maybe a used one 04 for 10,000 grand then all you would have to pay is the duty which isn't all that much . I picked up mine and i to am a Canadian living in CT for 11,400 Fully loaded with options .So i say look around aviod the auto trader those people are over charging.Also ther are some other Canadian on the form that may be helpfull with thier experiance in bring thier rides up.Good luck ehhhh!

As I had said in my orig. post, I'm trying to get financed right now on a CM xB I found in Fargo ND. It's selling for 14990 sticker, which I figure I can get down a little lower, since I'm a Canadian, eh?
Factor in Exchange, Registration, ND State tax, Our GST, and the various "safety" related fees, and I'm looking at about 21000 all told. That is a far cry from the 25k one dealer in the city here is asking for a BCP '04.
And, the '05 I found already has the sunroof and custom exhaust done, so those are 2 things I don't have to worry about. :D
Thanks for the good words guys..
i dont think they would give you a discount if you were from thailand. Remember these peeps are on pure price, they can't negotiate these cars, however, my dealer negotiated my trade-in vehicles worth, so if you have a trade in, thats where you can haggle them. $29,000 my ___, who cares about a car statement for that much money!
