Curious question for the Canadian guys.  We get lots of 1 year old vehicles here for sale from Canada, live about 20 mins from the border.  And they are all with around 7-10k miles,  15ish and like 20-24ish.   I would imagine these are leases or something as I cant imagine trading trucks every year as it mean a huge loss all the time,  so always curious to the why. 

 

We get ex Canadian trucks here down in NY 3-4 hours from the 1000s Island border.  Most of them come from fleets and rentals and are optioned up very similarly.  One of the places they were coming from was Discount Quebec.  Most ranging 8,000-24,000 miles, Ford, GM, Ram.  Same for Suburbans/Yukons from there and others as well.  Plenty of GMC SLE and SLT crew cabs gas and diesel, as well as Chevy.    

 

The GMs are easy to spot and you can check the build label for RPO code Z49 which is Canadian Market.  Plenty of them with 200MPH speedos because they just go into the vehicle settings and change it from Metric to US.

Yeah im 12 miles from the TI bridge.  Theres a large holding lot somewhere by abay thats full of them at times.  New rule as of like 2 years ago was they have to be country for so long and like 8000 miles on them or something,  guess they were killing the used car market here.  I bought a 16 ram said it was used for 13k less than new,  had plastic in the seats,  add said 300miles on it,  drove it home and it only had 9 miles on it. 

 

I thought canadians pay some weird tax on them and they do a lot of 1 year leases or something from what i heard.
