Taxed pretty heavy is an understatement, LOL.
Racer27, I see you are from Saint John, maybe you can help us track down this "parts man" guy? He used to advertise in Auto Seller. All I know about him is he deals in ford trucks, and is based in Saint John.
I'll also tell you guys a sad story about stealerships and profits. (the exchange rate reminded me of this story) I need 2 new front air struts for my 95 Lincoln. From the ford dealer in town, they are $700 bucks each. From a place called
www.fordpartsnetwork.com in Florida, I can get the exact same ford struts for $219 US. Even with the 35% exchange, it is still a lot cheaper.
I have a friend going to Orlando in 3 weeks, so he is going to bring them back for me, saving on duty and shipping.
