This is probably off topic a little bit but have any of you ever used a broker for buying a used vehicle? I wrote this one place that charges you 10% over what they pay to get a used vehicle from an auction. Being from Canada I am considering this as buying new is just to much with the tax 12% and the extra 6% for import fee's as it is built outside of North America. But according to this broker I can get a 2010 Ltd from 28900. I attached part of the email I was given below.
So has anyone ever done anything like this? If I could get one for 29k even adding on the 10%, 6% and 12% tax would only bring it to 38k which is a good 10k below used prices in Canada for a LTD.
