You figure a used one around $17.5-18k and once you've got it back over the border (I never did get a firm answer on the speedo, as it does have mph indicated), with the exchange and all, you're looking at about the same in U.S. currency. Not really worth it. A Scion xD is similarly equipped, plus the Auris engine for estimated under $15k.

Insurance issues (think of the bodywork headaches), local taxes, expense of changing speedo (if necessary) and financing on top of the other issues really put the brakes on my efforts for a 5-door.

Do some more searching, it can be done more $ effective!!!
