Re: [bolger] Motors for the Topaz
Esquire Honda in Sault Sainte Marie Ontario is a large dealership for
everything Honda makes. A friend just saved over 2K on a new Odyssey
van. The reason you have to live near the border is because of
exclusive dealer territories granted by Honda. You can get around
this in various ways which a salesperson at Esquire Honda would be
happy to explain. There is no duty to pay because of NAFTA. If you go
in person, the sales rep will accompany you to the Canadian customs
and do the paperwork for you. When you arrive on the American side of
the border, you present the paperwork to the customs agent and are on
your way in minutes.

Perhaps a silly question, why must I live near the Border? I'm getting ready to
buy a 15 hp and your price is about $1000 better than I have found. I could
certainly pay shipping. Clyde Wisner, Maryland
