Canadian wanting to purchase from USA

[MAGGUT]

I'm considering a Raptor. At first I was looking for local used ones, but the used prices in Alberta are more than what I can "build online" on the ford.com website. I've contacted a dealer in Montana that has told me that they can not and will not sell a Raptor to someone in Canada because of national territories set in place by Ford. On the other hand, I've heard of other Canadians that have bought from the USA. Is this true? Does anyone know of a dealer (preferably in northwest USA) that is willing to sell me a truck?

I'm sure there are some out there willing to sell to you. They used to have no problem selling to us Canadians, but ford cracked down on it a while ago.

Maybe find a slightly used one down south to avoid the hassle of buying new cross border?

I had to sign a form that I was not exporting my Raptor to Canada when I ordered mine a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if all dealerships are doing that.

I believe I just saw an used one posted for sale in Alberta? Maybe, I'll go check.

Yup,

The problem with buying from the US is that you have to buy with cash or a line of credit. A bank will not finance an American truck. Plus you have all the fees at the border and tax to pay to get it across. In the end its not as good of a deal for the hassle. A lot of non SVT dealers in alberta/canada sell new American Raptors at discounted prices anyway.

What dealers are you talking to? I talked to Rodeo Ford in Medicine Hat. They have a "used" USA Raptor for sale for $66k and they said they never discount raptors when I pointed out it was from the states.

I have bought a raptor from the US. As long as it is used its not a big deal but Macman is right about having to have cash to buy one from the states. Until the truck is registered in Canada the banks wont give you a loan. The US ford dealers are not aloud to sell any new vehicle to Canada. It must have been registered in the US before a Canadian can buy it.
