This thread answers some of your questions...........

Cant be bought and brought over new. Any vehicle meeting RIV but not being sold in Canada needs to have 6 months of use or a reg'd previous owner (dealer doesa not count)

By the, my xB is for sale in Toronto. I will ship it out to you in Vancouver!!!

I am in Ontario and I have mutiple XBs for sale. If you are interested, email me and I can send you pictures ad pricing on them. I can ship to Vancouver no problem! jimmy@canadianautoassociates.com

I bought mine in the lower mainland and if the one you are looking at is brand new for $23900 that is not a bad deal, I did a little better than that, Looking at buying one and bringing it back will take about three weeks to clear customs, (dealers have way better channels to complete this in a timely fashion) You will not be able to purchase a vehicle in Washington state because you do not have an address in Washington so you will have to go to Oregon, They will sell to you but you have to wait for the ownership certificate for 7-10 days and you need this to cross the border. Then you would have to install they day light running lights and run the car through vechile inspection so you can insure it with ICBC. All totaled when I was looking at the same thing last year worked out to $20500 for me to complete in a three week period.

I drove out to the dealer that cut me my best price and signed all the papers and said all we need to do now is test drive one. he sent us out in a 05 Camo auto with TRD lowering springs and rims. We drove back and said that we wanted an 06 TCM 5speed and they had it for us in three business days.
STILL SO HAPPY!!!
Sorry for the long read :relief:
