A. Volume. My prices are based on invoice and dealer incentives so they are extremely low. Almost everything is under invoice!!

Or use your own local bank if you prefer. 

Cash and Checks- Bank, personal checks, direct wire, credit cards, and even real cash dollar bills accepted. Credit cards to $2500 due to bank fees.

Q. Canada resident buying a US spec car. 
Yes, Canadians looking for pre-owned, lightly used cars are welcomed. 
I sell pre-owned cars cross border but I can help refer you to a dealer that might still sell new ones. 
New cars: starting January 3, 2008 Subaru of America started discouraging dealers from selling new cars to Canada.
Customer rebates and dealer incentives -do not- apply on cross border sales. And it can hurt dealer allocation.
