I wouldn't worry too much if it is cars we're talking about, quality and reliability is not the strongsuit of the Indians and Chinese. That was the Japanese!

Let's see:
- Free shipping within the States vs shipping costs to Canada
- Expensive dealer fees chaged by UPS and FedEx
- Tax is neutral as you have to pay tax either way, but if you are in the US for 48 hours, you can save the 15% tax
that's versus driving 100 kms roundtrip, for say 15$ gas
The more you order, the more it's worth it to go pick up. My order was roughly $500, I think I have saved over $100 of dealer fees if not more + shipping costs.
Oh, Nexus makes border crossing like 30 seconds each way
