That's kinda funny.

Mews/Myers/Chevy West (all owned by Mews) go to the US regularly and buy cars and trucks at auctions (including HHRs), bring 'em up here, Canadianize them and sell them on their used car lots.

 

You are correct
They buy them in US and Canadianize them (Translation, just about double the price of them)
I think they believe we haven't heard of the internet or something ?

 

Hi all.. I bought a Black 1LT for my wife's birthday ( we imported two HHRs, along with 1craztcdn from Penn.).

Now we are getting all the necessary accessories.

One item we are going to be getting is the rear sway bar.

The wife really likes the car!

 

Hmmm.... now you're tempting me. I had an oversize sway bar on my previous car and I remember the ride improvement. I wasn't bothering with this one because of shipping/ UPS brokerage fees/ etc. but now.... yeah maybe. It's pretty much just the GST at customs, right? Last fall I picked up a water softener at Sears in Malone, NY and they waived me through.

You can see the sway bar at Sway bar on eBay

Oh, I know how it looks like. I was looking at doing something similar but I don't know anyone close enough on the US side. Never Enough Auto has it listed for 137 $US. Even at full price it's a good deal, considering that you skip all of the shipping-across-the-border hassle.

When were you planning on doing this? No rush for me; I can't install it until I can crawl under it in my driveway, so not for another 2 months.

I bought mine before Mike (SoCal HHRs) closed down.

It depends on the shipper used. Mine was shipped via USPS and I didn't have to pay any GST, customs, brokerage charges.

 

Just took possession of my 2008 LT Imperial Blue 2.2. Still getting familiar with where everything is on her and how it works.

Would enjoy finding out about Ottawa HHR Meets and such.


happy trails...
