Default buying in Canada VS US?

my number one reason for buying in Canada was because I wanted the blue Grizzly, IMO that is yamaha's fault. I wanted to spend my money over here but I wasn't about to spend another $600 on plastic and then more for the stickers. I got what I wanted and saved about $700.
I can't see a reason in the world why yamaha wouldn't sell the blue in the U.S. especially considering Yamaha is known for being "Team Blue"

free market, isnīt thatīs what the us-government want to establish in north-america?
they want canadians and mexicans to buy cheap in usa.
it has to work both ways.
donīt feel ashame when you us-citizen buy in canada.
it is your right and for the quad you buy in canada, another canadian will buy a chrysler in the staates.
you pay anyway tax and duty at home.

if you buy it in Oregon you dont have to register it at all. you get the MSO if you pay cash, in the mail. and there's no sales tax.

If you buy it oregon or canada and you don't pay sales tax, and you ride in WA, you have to register it in WA, and they will collect state sales tax at that time.

raptor8 , OR has **WAY** higher effective tax rates than washington. You pay state income tax on every penny you earn. We pay a lower sales tax on only discretionary goods. In other words, they don't tax our savings or our food, or our house payments.

Lehencountry,

I think you can buy SP 700 in the US for a great price. Don't know the shipping charges/assume 1000 dollars/.
Riding in Bavarian Forest......beautiful place./I lived in Munich for a while in 82/83/
Joe

P.S. Americans like to buy in Canada mainly because the BLUE Grizzly is not available here/ I don't think the price is a decisive power behind those purchases,who'd go thru a border hassle to save a few dollars - unless you live very close /.

The Grizzlies were for sale in Highland Yamaha/Chicago metro/ for 5900 dollars in October, but not the BLUE ones, I know . Blue plastic is available for about $ 450. I always buy ATV's out of state w/o state tax.

Can you give me some website links to some ATV dealers in the Ontario area (preferably near Windsor area). There was a guy outside of Windsor who was offering Suzuki Vinson's for $5100 and he would provide the shipping to the metro detroit area with no taxes or prep fees,.... I should have taken him up on the offer. I don't know how to get a hold of this guy though, my luck.

Let me know.
Thanks

when buying in Canada, what kind of safe payment is possible.
I donīt want to fly there from Germany.
So what assurance do I have, that the dealer will ship the ATV??
