5000X1.13=5650 canadian
5650X1.14=6441 taxes
6441+ 250approx=6691 duty
6691+ 250approx=brokerage fees
6941 grand total
Oh and I forgot to add the shipping!!!!!!!!!!!
see what I mean I cannot buy new just because there will be a receipt and the border nails me real hard which blows my budget right out of the water.The only way for me to stay on target for my build or even just to afford to finish the car I have to buy used.Basicaly what ever I buy I will have to add 40% Canadian to my invoice.Here in Canada we have to pay 40% more for any project we build.This totally irratates me to no end.Thats why 90% of all my parts have been used from other members on this site as well as PT.com.I was telling Lisa that I paid more in duty and customs fees than the actual price of the door strickers!!!!!!!!!!!! What a deal hey!!!!!!!!
anyways I cannot begin to thank everyone on these sites offering me a good deal on wheels but buying new is just not an option for me.Im glad Im a patient guy and my wife is even more patient thank god lol lol !!!!!!
once again Frank thanks for all your help and if someone out there has some used wheels in 18X12 or 19X12 rears and 18" front please let me know.
thanks.
