TBH though, it makes no sense, just sell the current car and buy one here, he will make 35% on the exchange so won't lose out. And why in god's name would he move to Toronto? Cost of living is crazy high and truth be told it's dull as dishwater.
BIL is currently in South Africa. Looking to do a move for security reasons.

The vehicle he was considering was a mid 2000's Land Cruiser or Lexus LX470. He said he is having a hard time finding one to just buy in Canada, plus for a vehicle that old, he wants something from further south to avoid rust issues.

This wouldn't be a daily - the daily he would just purchase in Canada.

I read somewhere that there is a large tax on vehicles such as the Land Cruiser that have poor fuel economy. Is this true? I believe his plan is to move to Canada, then subsequently purchase the Land Cruiser, go down to the USA and drive it back.
