Help I need information on buying in Canada!
1. Where can I find out the exchange rate?
2. Do you get a title/certificate of origin?
3. Can I register it upon return?
4. How do I find a dealer to contact before going up there (Quebec).
5. Suggestions from anyone who has been there done that would be greatly appreciated!!!

I am from up here and I am curious to why you would want to buy it up here? We pay huge taxes (15%) and the exchange rate is about 1.55%.
One U.S. dollar = 1.55$ canadian. I am not to sure what they would make you pay for bringing it back though...maybe duty? When I buy stuff in the states the duty is anywhere between 5 and 20%.

When you purchase an ATV here it is registered with the serial number at the licence bureau. If you want to buy it, it has to have a no.

If you need a list of dealers I can send it to you. There are plenty of em! Just let me know where in Quebec.

When I have purchased things in B.C., when I cross the border back into the states there is a place where you can take your receipts and get a refund on your VAT and other taxes.They say if you're not Canadian then the taxes don't apply.
